Bit9 + Carbon Black appoints David Flower Managing Director for EMEA

Bit9® + Carbon Black®, a leader in endpoint threat prevention, detection and response, has announced the appointment of David Flower to the new position of managing director for the EMEA region.

Flower comes to Bit9 + Carbon Black with extensive experience across all major business functions, developing and driving strategy, execution and integration for several high-tech leaders. He joins the company from Everbridge, Inc., where he was senior vice president of sales for EMEA.

“The security market is moving at a phenomenal pace and the EMEA region, especially the Middle East, is poised for hyper growth,” said Patrick Morley, CEO of Bit9 + Carbon Black. “David has the right experience and leadership skills to accelerate our international growth.”

Prior to Everbridge, Flower was vice president of EMEA sales at Gomez Inc., where he launched the company in EMEA and generated 20 percent of overall company revenue in just three years. Compuware Corp. acquired Gomez and named Flower vice president of EMEA sales, where he drove $150 million in annual revenue. Earlier in his career Flower spent 12 years at MapInfo Corp. as vice president of EMEA sales where the organisation he built delivered 40 percent of company revenue.

“This is a very exciting time to join the leader in endpoint and server security,” said Flower. “Organisations are under constant attack and Bit9 + Carbon Black helps them prevent, detect and respond to the most advanced threats. Having worked in the IT industry for more than 25 years, I have rarely seen such a unique market opportunity for any company, and I look forward to working with a great team to aggressively grow our business from the UK to the Middle East.”
