MUMBAI: When it comes to numbers, Tenable wants nothing left exposed. The exposure management giant has roped in Matthew Brown as its new chief financial officer, effective immediately putting a seasoned hand on the calculator as it eyes its next phase of growth. Brown succeeds Steve Vintz, who recently swapped the CFO chair for the Co-CEO seat alongside Mark Thurmond. With more than 20 years in tech finance, Brown isn’t a stranger to high-stakes balance sheets. His last gig was at Altair Engineering, where he steered strategy, delivered consistent double-digit software revenue growth, expanded margins, and ultimately played a key role in clinching its 10.7 billion dollars sale to Siemens.
His career ledger also features senior finance roles at Nortonlifelock, Symantec, Blue Coat, Brocade, Netgear, and KPMG, spanning everything from M&A and investor relations to operational excellence and controllership.
“Matt brings a proven track record of scaling global technology businesses, delivering operational efficiency, and driving shareholder value,” said Tenable co-CEO Steve Vintz. “His strategic mindset and collaborative leadership style make him the ideal partner to help Tenable accelerate growth.”
Brown, for his part, sounds ready to crunch big numbers: “Tenable is in a prime position to lead the future of exposure management. Pairing its market leadership with bold financial strategy is incredibly energising, and I’m ready to help propel the company to its next chapter.”
Armed with a B.S. in Business Administration from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and a CPA licence in California, Brown is set to bring both rigour and ambition to Tenable’s books.
For a company built on spotting vulnerabilities, this looks like one appointment that definitely adds up.
