Coro Appoints Channel Vet Sykora as CEO

Coro, a cybersecurity platform for small and mid-size businesses, has appointed Joe Sykora as CEO. He succeeds company co-founder Guy Moskowitz, who will assume the role of president and focus on the company’s global expansion plans and strategic initiatives.

“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to lead Coro as a CEO and co-founder during the last decade, growing it from a small startup into a global company,” said Moskowitz. “With our momentum rapidly building and global opportunities ahead, it was the right time to hand the reins to Joe.”

Sykora brings leadership experience from across the global cybersecurity channel, having held top positions at Bitdefender, Fortinet and Proofpoint. He joined Coro earlier this year as SVP and general manager of the Americas and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ).

“I’m honored to step into the CEO role and grateful to the board for their confidence in me,” said Sykora. “I also want to thank Guy for his visionary leadership and for building such a strong foundation over more than a decade.”

Coro’s market growth has been driven by rising demand for purpose-built cybersecurity for the SMB market. The Chicago-based company’s international expansion includes a newly opened office in London, growing presence in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and recent entry into the ANZ market.
