"Demand is growing worldwide for Verkada's easy-to-use, cloud-based physical security solutions. In Europe, our bookings have grown more than 360% in just the past year," said Eric Salava, Chief Revenue Officer at Verkada. "Marc's deep relationships in Northern Europe will put us in an even better position to serve our customers as they adopt our technology to create safer, smarter spaces."

Peston joins Verkada after nearly a decade at Qualtrics where he held several senior roles in sales and operations. At Qualtrics, Peston drove the company's expansion into Australia and Southeast Asia before leading the company's efforts in Benelux.

"Verkada plays an important role in protecting the lives of millions of people around the world every day," said Marc Peston, General Manager of Northern Europe at Verkada. "I'm looking forward to expanding this impact in Northern Europe, and helping more organisations across the region protect their people and places with privacy-respecting solutions."

Verkada is growing rapidly in Europe. In the past year, Verkada expanded operations into Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH) and increased its headcount in Europe by 50%. Leading organisations in Northern Europe trust Verkada as their physical security layer, including Rapha Racing, ToyChamp, and Canada Goose.
