Welcome Parveen....

So, I see Consentry have a new President and CEO. No announcement, just quietly slipped onto their website Management page. Does this mean that the fanfare and fireworks over their new round of funding had a bittersweet side (where did Tom go?)? Interesting to see that Parveen comes most recently from a fundamental security player (McAfee) and was the founder and CEO of IntruVert, an IDP player. I think they've realised that to be a credible secure switching or LAN security solution you do have to put the fundamentals into the security piece of the equation. Nevis made the investment early on and have maintained that with a cadre of Security educated PhD's and researchers who contribute to the security community on a daily basis, alongside a strong team of networking engineers. To realize the vision of security ubiquity in the network fabric you have to be able to talk the talk and walk the walk.

Welcome to the LAN Security market space Parveen. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your perspective on the evolution of enterprise networking and security.

Parveen Jain's gone! Already? Sam Farhad the VP of Eng is now the CEO as of Jan '08 (according to his LinkedIn.) So, Parveen lasted only 2.x months??

No announcement, just quietly slipped out as well.

That is because the "Board of Directors" page is always the last to get updated and not until pointed out.

Despite the few successes that ConSentry has seen this year, Jain was got in probably because they wanted someone from an established security company (to take on Cisco?!). Intruvert had raised more than $40 Million and was sold for a "not so overwhelming" $100 million.

What are they playing at?

interesting news. I wonder what's behind the move.

You think they're missing their numbers? Usually the sales vp gets the axe first if they miss. But they've raised over $70mil now, so they must have some hefty targets. Maybe it was a condition on the new money.

Barsi's still on the board of directors page so maybe things are ok and the usual "grow to the next level" excuse might be plausible.
