Unified SASE as a service provider Aryaka appointed Chris Ranalli as CRO. Ranalli has 25 years of experience in security, enterprise software and networking, and brings deep domain expertise to Aryaka’s leadership team.
Ranalli will specifically oversee Aryaka’s go-to-market strategy and execution, as the company continues to capitalize on the rapidly expanding unified SASE as a service market opportunity. He joins Aryaka with a track record of success in revenue generation and channel and sales leadership, including with Oracle, Imperva, RSA and Verizon.
“Chris has been instrumental in driving growth and providing strategic vision throughout his career, and we are pleased to welcome him to our leadership team,” said Shailesh Shukla, the chairman and CEO of Aryaka. “His unique blend of technical expertise and deep understanding of GTM makes him an invaluable addition to Aryaka’s leadership team as we embark on our next stage of growth.”
Ranalli brings leadership experience from his role as CRO for HyperScience, where he directed all aspects of revenue generation, including sales, channel and customer success, enabling the company to deliver transformational AI at scale across the enterprise market.
“I joined Aryaka for two key reasons: the immense potential of its Unified SASE as a Service product and the strength of its leadership team,” said Ranalli. “Aryaka is revolutionizing secure networking by delivering unparalleled performance, agility, simplicity and security, all without tradeoffs, which is especially critical as the rise of AI workloads is exploding. The fact that they’ve already landed over 20 security customers since launching in March speaks volumes. This unique approach, combined with a world-class executive team and winning culture, positions the company for explosive growth, and I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
