Sunnyvale, CA — Centrify Corporation, the leading provider of Microsoft Active Directory-based auditing, access control and identity management solutions for non-Microsoft platforms, today announced the addition of Frank Cabri to the executive leadership team as vice president of marketing. With 19 years of marketing and product management experience in the networking and security industries, Cabri assumes responsibility for the planning and execution of the company's marketing and product strategies.
"We are pleased to have an executive with Frank's breadth of experience and record for success join Centrify," said Tom Kemp, CEO at Centrify. "His track record at both established and startup companies will be invaluable to Centrify as we continue to accelerate our growth and expand our solution footprint for our customers."
This appointment and expansion of the management team follows a record quarter for customer transactions during which Centrify released a comprehensive identity and access management suite and increased its customer base by over one-third. Centrify now has more than 1000 enterprise customers worldwide representing all verticals, including 38% of the Fortune 50.
Cabri joins Centrify from FaceTime Communications, a web and unified communications security and compliance vendor where he served as vice president of marketing. Cabri helped lead the company to the #1 market share position for enterprise instant messaging management products for four consecutive years. Prior to joining FaceTime, Cabri was senior director of Marketing at web security company Blue Coat Systems, where he managed corporate and channel marketing initiatives. Cabri was instrumental in the repositioning of content caching vendor CacheFlow to Blue Coat Systems, where the re-launched company achieved over 300% growth in market valuation and profitability for the first time within 18 months. Prior to Blue Coat, as director of product management at Novell, Cabri was responsible for a $125M portfolio of Internet security and network management products.
