Netskope, a leader in secure access service edge (SASE), has appointed longtime network and cloud security sales leader Stephan Mesguich as Senior Vice President, EMEA and LATAM. Mesguich will manage all sales, channel, and field teams in several of Netskope’s fastest-expanding regions as customer demand soars for Netskope’s converged SASE platform, Netskope One, including its industry-leading Security Service Edge (SSE) and zero trust capabilities.

Mesguich has over 30 years of cybersecurity sales experience and has led top-performing teams throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. He spent more than eight years at Palo Alto Networks, most recently as Vice President, Go-to-Market, EMEA & LATAM, for the Cortex product family, where, during his tenure, Cortex annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew from $0 to over $100 million. Previously, Mesguich was a highly regarded VP sales leader at Tufin and Verdasys, among other companies, and served as the first EMEA sales director at Check Point Software Technologies.

“Organizations are facing a massive shift in security, infrastructure, and operations as they grapple with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and the adoption of cloud and AI,” said Raphaël Bousquet, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales & Channel, Netskope. “Netskope provides both clarity and acceleration for customers making that shift, using a single, simplified platform with zero trust principles at its core. We are seeing growing demand for our Netskope One platform throughout EMEA and LATAM and I am delighted to have Stephan join the team. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help us continue to deliver on our ambitious plans for these markets.”

“I am very excited to join Netskope at this next stage of the journey and to help scale the EMEA and LATAM business to even greater heights,” said Stephan Mesguich. “I have seen and admired how quickly Netskope has become dominant in SASE, SSE, and zero trust, and learned firsthand from some of the biggest enterprise businesses in the world why the vision and execution behind the Netskope One platform is so compelling.”
