London, UK – 11th December 2018
Ubisecure (www.ubisecure.com), a leading B2B Identity Services software provider and cloud services enabler, has appointed Paul Norris as Head of Sales. In his new executive management role, Paul will be responsible for leading the sales organisation and the partner ecosystem at a time of high growth for the company, as it expands from its Nordic home market across Europe.
During his career in enterprise sales, Paul held a long tenure at Oracle, joining as part of their acquisition of Oblix. His role was to plan, lead and integrate Oblix into Oracle pan-EMEA, as the company’s first acquisition within the security space. The focus of his role was to establish a new security line of business for Oracle, focusing on Identity Management.
Paul most recently served as the Sales Director UKI for HP Enterprise before and after the company’s merger with Micro Focus. Prior to joining HP Enterprise, Paul held Sales Director roles at Guidance Software (acquired by OpenText) and UK-based Clearswift. Other experience, especially relevant to Ubisecure’s partner-first market approach, came from Paul’s time at Axial Systems, a VC funded System Integrator.
Paul Norris said “I am excited to work for a growing company in the digital identity space at a time where customer identity is at the core of many digital transformation initiatives. The Ubisecure Identity Platform has proven its market fit across both public and private sector in the Nordics, and I’m very happy to be able to lead the commercial team as we extend our partner network and take our solutions across Europe.”
Simon Wood, CEO of Ubisecure said “Paul has a proven record of building and nurturing long-term business relationships with both customers and partners in the cybersecurity industry. With Paul heading up our commercial organisation, Ubisecure is well-positioned to accelerate our growth across Europe.”
The appointment of Paul Norris is part of Ubisecure’s ongoing effort to strategically build and expand the company, after completing its Series A growth funding round earlier in the year.
