I look forward to his contributions to the strategy and direction of Alert Logic.”
Most recently, Lewandowski served as Senior Vice President at Rackspace, The Open Cloud Company, for more than four years of exceptional growth immediately following the company’s successful IPO in 2008. While at Rackspace, he led the worldwide sales organization, delivering 17 consecutive quarters of accelerating annual revenue growth. Prior to Rackspace, Lewandowski was Executive Vice President of the Americas at McAfee, a global leader in security software, where he was responsible for Field Operations in North and South America from 2003 through 2007.
