“With an already fortified customer base, it’s an incredible time to be joining Drata and fueling the company’s impressive growth globally,” said George Bonser. “I’ve personally experienced the impact that showing proof of a strong compliance program has in the sales cycle, and it’s become absolutely vital for any company looking to scale or even as they mature, especially in areas where compliance is federally regulated.”
“With thousands of customers in over 50 countries, we know there’s a significant opportunity to increase Drata’s global footprint,” said Adam Markowitz, Drata Co-Founder and CEO. “Bringing George on to lead revenue in critical markets is pivotal to introducing Drata to new customers with varying compliance needs across the EMEA region.”
