Ounce Labs Names Gary Jackson Chief Executive Officer
Jackson to Drive Continued Global Expansion of Enterprise Security Source
Code Analysis Leader
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Ounce Labs, the industry leader
in enterprise security source code analysis, today announced that Gary
Jackson has been named chief executive officer (CEO). Jackson brings to
Ounce more than 25 years of executive leadership helping early-stage
companies evolve and expand into market leaders.
"Ounce has built a reputation for reliability, and a trusted presence
in the enterprise security source code analysis market, and today we count
half of the top-20 companies in the world as our customers," said Ounce
Labs Founder and Chief Technology Officer Jack Danahy. "Moving forward, the
company's mission is to repeat this success across a rapidly expanding
market. Gary Jackson is exactly the right CEO to accomplish this mission.
We've always had the best technology for our customers; now we also have
the best leadership for Ounce Labs as we expand."
Jackson comes to Ounce from Quova, Inc., where he served as chief
operating officer. Quova created the "IP intelligence" category of Internet
infrastructure and Jackson played a key role in growing the company from
inception to profitability. Among his accomplishments, he created
international sales, marketing and customer service teams to serve
thousands of companies in the areas of online fraud prevention, digital
rights management and targeted marketing.
"Three key elements provide the foundation for a successful company --
superior technology, broad market opportunity and a strong employee base.
Ounce Labs hits on all three fronts, and that is why I chose to lead
Ounce," Jackson said. "In the coming months I will be working with our team
to expand Ounce Labs' global presence so more organizations can avoid data
breaches and compliance violations by eliminating critical vulnerabilities
in software."
Earlier in his career, Jackson was president of Ozro, a pioneer in
on-line contract negotiation, which has become a standard in enterprise
resource planning (ERP) applications, as well as senior vice president of
Vantive, one of the early leaders in the customer relationship management
(CRM) market.
"On behalf of Ounce Labs' board of directors and investors, I'm
delighted to welcome Gary Jackson aboard at Ounce Labs," said Tom Bogan,
general partner at Ounce Labs investor Greylock Partners and board member
of Ounce Labs. "We're confident that his tremendous experience and track
record of success will help further establish Ounce Labs as the enterprise
security source code analysis leader."
