Claroty has appointed John Ryan as Vice President of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, tasking him with leading the company’s xCelerate Partner Program and its global channel strategy.
Ryan joins the cyber-physical systems (CPS) security vendor with more than a decade of experience in channel and partner leadership roles across a range of cybersecurity companies, including Radiant Logic, Orca Security, Illumio, Guardicore, Rapid7, and ForeScout Technologies.
Claroty said Ryan will focus on strengthening the growth and scalability of its partner ecosystem, as well as supporting the longer-term operation of the channel program. The company positioned the role as part of its go-to-market execution in CPS security, where vendors commonly rely on resellers, managed security providers, and technology alliances to expand coverage across critical infrastructure and industrial environments.
“With his deep expertise in cybersecurity and proven success in scaling go-to-market strategies, John is an invaluable addition to Claroty,” said James Love, chief revenue officer at Claroty. “We are incredibly excited for John to bring his background in team building, global leadership, and channel strategy, driving significant revenue growth and delivering even greater value to our partners and customers.”
Prior to joining Claroty, Ryan served as vice president of EMEA and worldwide channel sales at Radiant Logic. His previous roles include SVP of worldwide channels and tech alliances at Orca Security; VP worldwide channel, GSI and MSP/MSSP sales at Illumio; AVP of channels, systems integrators, and alliances at Guardicore; and senior director, global alliances and channel sales at Mendix. He has also held leadership roles at Rapid7 and ForeScout Technologies.
“Claroty’s rapid expansion and platform superiority in the CPS security market speak volumes about its commitment to the company’s vital mission,” said Ryan. “I’m excited to help shape our go-to-market execution and leverage our partner ecosystem to bring Claroty’s industry-leading solutions to a broader global audience.”
Claroty’s xCelerate Partner Program includes resellers, value-added resellers, MSSPs, technology alliance partners, and distributors. The company said the program provides training and enablement intended to help partners sell and support its CPS security platform.
