About Secuvy

With over 20 years’ experience in GTM technology leadership, Bob Kruse brings to Secuvy a strong and impressive record of go-to-market success stories, helping numerous security ventures achieve their growth goals. As a GTM advisor and an investor/advisor of the Cyber Mentor Fund, Bob currently serves as the Product Line Growth leader for Arctic Wolf Networks. This current role is the follow-up to the successful acquisition by Arctic Wolf of Kruse’s co-founding venture, Revelstoke Security. This is on the heels of contributing to FireEye’s IPO as well as advising several M&A events, including the growth strategy for Demisto, serving as the global GTM leader, which resulted in acquisition by PANW.

More impressive than his professional success stories, however, is Kruse’s inclination to pay it forward by mentoring young entrepreneurs and technology sales professionals through making connections, broadening their networks and helping them get off to a successful start on their career journeys. You will often see Bob using his social media presence as a catalyst to promote eager professionals to his network for a chance at new opportunities. On a personal note, Bob is a family man, spending time snow skiing and playing with the dog.
