“I am excited to pass the baton to Joe Levy as President and acting CEO to lead Sophos into the future. “I am proud of our team’s accomplishments over the last 12 years as we have transformed Sophos into a true next-generation cybersecurity leader and an industry innovator in delivering cybersecurity as a service,” said Hagerman. Hagerman led the successful IPO of Sophos on the London Stock Exchange in 2015, and a successful sale to Thoma Bravo in 2020.
The company has roughly tripled its revenue during his tenure to over $1 billion, and has grown its customer base from roughly 150,000 customers to over 580,000 customers worldwide, establishing Sophos as one of the clear next-generation leaders in the cybersecurity industry. Hagerman has been CEO of Sophos since 2012 and led the company through a period of dramatic growth.
Effective immediately, Joe Levy is the President and acting CEO of Sophos. Sophos, a global leader in innovating and delivering cyber security as a service, today announced that Kris Hagerman has stepped down as its CEO and will serve as an advisor to the company until April 1, 2024.
