Duo Security, a two-factor authentication and zero-trust security platform provider, has appointed Neville Letzerich as its chief marketing officer.
Letzerich is responsible for scaling Duo's global marketing operations and helping the company accelerate its domestic and international growth, according to a prepared statement.
Letzerich has 20 years of executive experience leading global marketing teams at enterprise technology and cybersecurity companies, Duo indicated.
He most recently served as CMO at HotSchedules, a cloud-based restaurant operating platform provider. Prior to joining HotSchedules, Letzerich was CMO at cybersecurity services provider Forcepoint (formerly Websense) and managed the company's marketing efforts in over 150 countries.
Letzerich also has held executive leadership positions for global marketing, sales, product and engineering teams at BazaarVoice, a company that provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for social commerce, and EMC's information intelligence group.
