The co-founder, Dmitri Alperovitch, resigned the other day.
Kind of makes you wonder why a guy worth hundreds of millions at a dominant company in the cybersecurity space would decide to leave just when they are seeing so much sales success...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
don’t forget, crowdstrike monetized their OP with an IPO last year.
the stock traded up to 96 or so after the IPO last year & then sold off by about 50%. it’s back up to around 60 bucks now.
Title is right. Info is true. DC is false.
From link, so he wants to help destroy the US with a nonprofit instead. Donations...?
CrowdStrike Names New CTO as Dmitri Alperovitch Leaves to Start Policy Accelerator Focused on National Security and Foreign Policy Challenges
Endpoint security firm CrowdStrike announced on Wednesday that Michael Sentonas has been appointed chief technology officer (CTO) after Dmitri Alperovitch decided to leave the company to launch a non-profit policy accelerator.
Alperovitch, one of the founders of CrowdStrike, has been acting as CTO since the company’s launch in 2011. In its announcement, CrowdStrike only said he had transitioned out of the company, but Alperovitch has shared some information about his future plans on social media.
“I have left CrowdStrike to launch a non-partisan, non-profit policy accelerator,” Alperovitch said. “Since founding CrowdStrike and during my tenure, I helped transform the cybersecurity industry and want to apply the same ingenuity and a venture approach to galvanize solutions to pressing cybersecurity national security and foreign policy challenges.”
