Paris, January 23,
2020 - Vade,
the global leader in predictive email defense, today announced the appointment of Frédéric Braut, Senior
Vice President EMEA. A recognized leader in the IT ecosystem (infrastructure,
network, security and cloud), Braut waspreviously
Managing Director of Tech Data Advanced. Braut has held several management
positions at Arrow ECS (CEO France and previously Director EMEA Cloud),
Fortinet (Director EMEA & APAC Global Alliances), Websense and McAfee. Frédéric
Braut completed a Master’s degree in Finance at ASSAS Paris as well as an MBA
in Finance and Marketing at the EDHEC Business School. His arrival reinforces
Vade strategic positioning to address the European markets through its
distributors' marketplaces and through the development of its MSP network.
Braut will bring his expertise from the channel,
security and different SaaS models, having himself already participated in the
construction of Arrowsphere, the first aggregator platform to serve partners
and MSPs. “The arrival of Frédéric Braut,” said Georges Lotigier, CEO, Vade, “will enable us to accelerate
our development and structure our growth
in Europe.”
The past year has been one of the richest and
most intense for Vade, but above all it has been one of recognition. "Since
2014, we have progressively established the Vade brand in the US by
appropriating its market codes and the business culture,” said Georges Lotigier, CEO, Vade. “In
2019, the time had come for us to accelerate our development through strategic
partnerships, particularly in the United States, Japan and England, which opened
the doors to an exceptional MSP network.”
But the recognition of Vade also came
from its own country. Vade was pleased to be selected for inclusion
among the French government's NEXT40 program (the 40 technology companies, from
all sectors, identified as having the highest potential for international
development).
"Vade is one of the few French
technology gems that has taken the time to develop and mature its technologies,
thanks to its cutting-edge R&D, by recruiting the top experts,” said Frédéric Braut, Senior Vice President
EMEA. “The foundations have been laid little by little, and today the
company can boast of having maintained a strong European foothold, and of
having a real lead in the email security market, which has already enabled it
to attract international customers. Participating in such an acceleration
project, oriented towards internationalizing and industrializing processes
through a strategy of cloud service aggregation, is a real challenge. It is an
honor to join a Next40 company and to be responsible for taking Vade
even higher in an extremely promising EMEA region, which I know well."
In parallel with this strong momentum in the
United States and Asia, particularly in Japan, Vade intends to take
advantage of this recognition by continuing its progress on the other
continents, while strengthening its development in the EMEA region.
