Coro, the leading cybersecurity platform for small and midsize businesses, recently announced the appointment of Neill Burton as its new Vice President and General Manager of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The appointment follows Coro’s entry into the EMEA region beginning this year and underscores the company’s commitment to accelerate its international expansion further.
In his new role, Burton will build a comprehensive channel ecosystem capable of delivering robust cybersecurity to underserved SMBs across the region. His appointment reflects Coro’s strategic focus on scaling through channel partnerships as the company expands beyond its solid North American foundation. Burton’s focus will be on developing strategic alliances while identifying emerging channel players capable of solution-selling Coro’s modular platform to the growing SMB market throughout the region.
Joe Sykora, Coro’s CEO said, “Neill brings exactly what we need for our next phase in EMEA – the ability to transform partner ecosystems and drive sustainable growth. His track record of transforming partner-initiated businesses, combined with his dual perspective as both a channel partner and vendor leader, makes him uniquely qualified to unlock the massive SMB opportunity in this region. I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Neill to Coro!”
“I’m excited to join the Coro team and help further expand its footprint into the EMEA market. Coro’s cybersecurity solution is genuinely simple to use, simple to buy, and delivers an integrated suite of powerful modules. Coro’s peerless approach to cybersecurity, combined with its market momentum in these crucial markets, makes this an incredibly exciting next chapter, and I’m honoured to contribute and be part of it”, said Neill Burton.
Burton’s extensive background spans both sides of the channel equation, including leading vendor channel programs that consistently delivered impressive revenue growth. Most recently, he drove major expansion of the partner-led pipeline at DigiCert and broadened partner business at Proofpoint. At F5 Networks, he transformed the partner ecosystem, substantially increasing partner-initiated business, resulting in an influx of new customers and significant growth in emerging partners.
Burton will be based in Coro’s London office as the company continues its rapid expansion in the EMEA region. Since expanding into the area, Coro’s staff has grown to nearly 100 people, with 30 based in London.
