Darktrace Names Three Senior Executives to Strengthen Finance, Revenue, and Customer Leadership
Darktrace denies LockBit’s claim of compromising its systems, confirms operations remain secure and uninterrupted after a full security review.
Darktrace has completed a comprehensive security review following LockBit’s tweets alleging an internal systems compromise. The company states no evidence of compromise was found, and its services to customers remain fully operational. Darktrace emphasizes that its security teams found no link between LockBit’s claims and any actual breach of its systems or customer data.
The cybersecurity firm announced three new executive appointments to its leadership team: Adam Towns as Chief Financial and Operating Officer, Mike McGuinness as Chief Revenue Officer, and Beth Shea as Chief Customer Officer. All three will report directly to President and CEO Ed Jennings, strengthening leadership across finance, revenue, and customer operations.
Adam Towns, previously CFO at Dataiku, will oversee global finance and key operating capabilities, focusing on financial discipline, capital allocation, and data-driven decision-making. His role aims to build a sustainable growth model and strengthen operational governance within Darktrace.
Mike McGuinness, with over 25 years in enterprise software and cybersecurity, will lead the company’s go-to-market strategy as Chief Revenue Officer. Beth Shea, bringing more than 30 years of customer leadership experience, will head the global post-sales organization to unify the customer journey and accelerate platform adoption.
