I’m confident she’ll play a key role in driving our growth and expanding our leadership in proactive security.”
As CMO, Japic will oversee all aspects of marketing, including product marketing, branding, communications, customer marketing, demand generation, and sales enablement. She will focus on increasing awareness of NetSPI’s proactive approach to cybersecurity, developing go-to-market strategies that drive revenue, boost brand visibility, and create lasting customer relationships.
Japic brings a wealth of experience in scaling marketing strategies that resonate with customers and fuel business growth. She’s been recognized for building high-performing teams and executing innovative campaigns that elevate brand presence in both startup and established companies. Prior to joining NetSPI, Japic served as CMO at Carbon Black, as Revenue Marketing Executive at Cisco Security, and as CMO at Kenna Security.
“Proactive cybersecurity is more important than ever as organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats,” said Japic. “NetSPI is at the forefront of helping companies take a more proactive approach to their security strategies, and I’m thrilled to join the team. I look forward to helping NetSPI continue its impressive growth and further its mission to make the digital world a safer place.”
With Japic’s leadership, NetSPI is poised to deepen its impact in the cybersecurity space and continue its upward trajectory as a trusted partner for organizations looking to stay ahead of emerging risks.
