Today, I announce my resignation as CEO of #cyansecurity, effective August 31st 2023. For the past two and a half years, I have been privileged to lead an outstandingly talented team and, together, work towards a strong vision of growth, realizing the ambitions I had for the company. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute my international expertise and unconventional methods to drive sales results and motivate teams, all based on a solid product, strong market demand and potential.
In joining the company, I familiarized myself with the existing and underlying challenges, and with our main shareholder's support, we were able to implement a solid performance improvement plan to refocus our strengths.
We have now reached the point I had envisioned from day one; stable finances, aligned branding, several millions in cost reduction, streamlined processes, and faster implementation. The cyber security partnerships have grown from one to eleven active partners across multiple countries, with more to come in 2024. The turnaround is under way.
I have, however, after careful consideration, made the difficult decision to step down. There were certain moments during this journey that conflicted with my core beliefs in running a business and aligning actions with principles, thus impacting my motivation. Recognizing this, I trust I have given all I can to this position and believe that it is vital for leaders to accept when it is time to prioritize their values and the company's best interests. That time has come for me.
I would like to emphasize the dedication and enthusiasm I have for cyan's industry, my unwavering commitment to our partners, and their satisfaction with our performance. I believe in our unique business model and take pride in our remarkable team, which I have truly valued being a part of.
Despite the challenges, the past two years have been memorable. I have met incredible individuals, helped shape #cyan into a version that I hope will persist, and restored its position as a company that safeguards individuals' online experiences.
I would like to extend my gratitude to our partners and contributors for their loyalty and trust and the phenomenal team whose energy and commitment has shaped cyan into what it is today. To everyone involved, I wish you and cyan all the best and continued success on this journey – you are exceptional.
I am sure we will cross paths again, wherever in the world it may be. For now, I am looking forward to what the future will bring - and trust that I will soon find a new harbor where my experience and efforts can make another impact. |
