With over 20 years of information security and IT leadership experience, Fruge will lead the company’s Global Professional Services team, a critical part of its customer success efforts. Previously, as CISO at Fossil Group, Fruge was responsible for providing leadership and information security advice, governance and subject-matter expertise to the company’s executive leadership and global team of technical staff who manage critical distributed information systems. Prior to Fossil Group, Fruge held various executive positions in global information security at Signet Jewelers, Citi and Cerner Corporation.

Daly brings over 20 years of software and cybersecurity marketing experience to his role guiding the global marketing efforts at Onapsis.

Prior to IntSights, Daly led product and solution marketing for Carbon Black. As an integral part of the team during the company’s journey to its initial public offering, Daly helped define and launch the market for endpoint detection and response and helped create the threat hunting category. Prior to this while at Endeca (acquired by Oracle), Daly built the organization’s strategic alliance and channel marketing strategy.
