Red Canary Appoints New CRO

MDR firm Red Canary appointed Todd Chronert as CRO. Chronert will oversee sales, business development and partnerships, and report directly to president, Katie Bullard.

The executive brings nearly 20 years of domestic and international cybersecurity leadership experience – as well as a track record of driving growth at scale – to the position. Chronert will succeed Dennis Hon, who is retiring after nearly three years with Red Canary, but will remain in an advisory role through Q4.

“Todd possesses a true passion for cybersecurity, having spent his entire career helping organizations defend against adversaries. We’re thrilled to have him on board, adding even more strength to our executive team,” said Bullard. “His experience leading global revenue teams and executing with operational rigor will be invaluable to Red Canary as we continue to grow and scale.”

Chronert was most recently CRO with Recorded Future, a threat-intelligence company. There, he launched Recorded Future’s channel program to drive growth in partner-led pipeline across multiple types of partners. Chronert also held domestic and global leadership roles with RSA, Secureworks and Absolute Software.

“I’m excited to be joining Red Canary at such a pivotal moment for the company,” said Chronert. “Red Canary is recognized as a pioneer in MDR, having built an exceptional reputation with customers, partners, and the community in just a decade. It’s an honor to be part of a team that’s setting the standard for world-class customer experience.”
