Tufin®, the leader in network and cloud security policy automation, today announced that it has continued to invest in its executive team to manage and scale operations in parallel with increased demand. Jeff Taylor, formerly Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Pega, has joined as Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Christian Na, formerly Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at Emburse, has been named General Counsel.
“These additions to our executive team will amplify our current momentum and ensure we exceed the needs of our customers and partners,” said Raymond Brancato, CEO of Tufin. “Both Jeff and Christian bring a wealth of experience to Tufin that will help optimize our go-to-market and overall operations and manage our global legal, risk, and compliance functions, respectively. I’m thrilled to welcome them to the team.”
Jeff brings over twenty years of experience in strategy and all elements of go-to-market to Tufin. Throughout his career, he has a consistent track record of driving market share gains and sustaining revenue growth. In his prior role at Pega, he oversaw the company’s go-to-market strategy, product strategy and marketing, customer success, and revenue operations. As a Partner at Bain & Company, Jeff played a key role in defining and implementing transformational strategies for technology, media, and telecommunications clients. He holds an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University with concentrations in Economics and Theology, and received a Master’s in Business Administration in Strategy and Finance from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
“Tufin has a strong foundation, built upon its years of successfully delivering efficient and effective policy management solutions and supporting customer needs,” added Jeff. “I look forward to working with our executive team to further refine and enhance the go-to-market strategy, ensuring successful execution and delivery across all operations.”
Christian comes to Tufin with more than 25 years of legal experience, most recently at Emburse, a private equity-backed spend management SaaS platform. While there, he managed the company’s global legal, risk, and compliance functions. Prior to this, he was the Chief Legal Officer at another private equity-backed SaaS platform, Magnitude Software, where he played a pivotal role in the company’s digital transformation and successful exit. Christian has also led legal teams at various privately held and large public companies in the telecom and industrial sectors. He holds a dual B.S. in Psychology and Sociology from Boston University and a J.D. from Boston University School of Law.
"As enterprise networks become increasingly more complex, Tufin is positioned as the leader in enabling customers to automate their security management to better safeguard their evolving networks,” said Christian. “I am incredibly excited to join the Tufin executive team as we continue to accelerate our growth and extend our lead in the market.”
