New York, United States, July 2025 – Chris Scanlan has been promoted to President, GTM (Go-To-Market) at HUMAN, marking a pivotal step forward in his impactful journey at the cybersecurity firm. In his expanded role, he now leads global GTM operations spanning marketing, field sales, customer success, field engineering, revenue operations, AdTech/media sales, account management, and renewals. This move underscores HUMAN’s commitment to advancing its mission of safeguarding digital experiences at scale.
Chris joined HUMAN in early 2024 as Chief Revenue Officer, where he led the company’s revenue-generating teams with an emphasis on customer success, field operations, and strategic partnerships. His performance in this role laid the foundation for this elevation, positioning HUMAN for broader market influence and operational synergy.
Prior to HUMAN, Chris served as Chief Revenue Officer at ExtraHop, where he was recruited to restructure and scale the executive team and commercial functions during a key transition period. Under his leadership, ExtraHop experienced 34% YoY revenue growth, the onboarding of 79 new sales reps, and the successful relaunch of a two-tier distribution model, all contributing to a more agile and scalable GTM framework.
Chris has also held high-impact leadership roles including Interim CEO at Defy Security, where he significantly expanded market coverage, improved EBITDA, and developed long-term growth infrastructure. His tenure at Check Point Software Technologies as President of the Americas saw the reversal of nearly a decade of negative growth, restoring profitability and elevating employee morale across a $1.2B line of business.
Earlier roles at Cylance Inc., Optiv Security, Accuvant, and Blue Coat Systems highlight his longstanding influence in the cybersecurity domain.
