SCOTTSDALE, AZ and MENLO PARK, CA – InfoArmor, Inc., an industry-leading provider of employee protection solutions and elite cyber intelligence services, today announced the realignment of its executive team, naming current President and CFO John Schreiber to the role of Chief Executive Officer. The company also announced an investment by global growth equity investor Summit Partners. The leadership shift and the funding positions InfoArmor for continued rapid growth.

Schreiber, a board member and CFO since 2008, and President since 2009, helped InfoArmor navigate the 2008-2009 financial crisis and also architected the two acquisitions that became the foundation of the company’s Advanced Threat Intelligence business unit. In his new role, Schreiber’s primary focus will be on optimizing sales, operations and strategy as InfoArmor enters its next phase of growth. InfoArmor Founder and CEO Drew Smith will assume the role of Executive Chairman where he will remain focused on leading product innovation. Smith will also continue his commitment to building the team and strategic partnerships.

“Now is the time for John to take the reins as InfoArmor’s Chief Executive Officer,” Smith said. “His vision, discipline and track record of execution is exactly what InfoArmor needs as we enter our next chapter, which I am confident will be even more exciting than the last. With 100 percent of his energy focused on sales, operations and strategy, I’m eager to see what John will accomplish.”

“When I joined InfoArmor we had a small team that overcame some early obstacles and together, we built a durable, high-growth information security business,” Schreiber said. “Today, I am excited to lead an increasingly talented group forward into our next wave of growth. Drew and I have been partners from even before day one when I helped him source the funding to create InfoArmor. That partnership has spanned almost 10 years and I am pleased it will continue with Drew as Executive Chairman.”

Summit Partners, a leading global growth equity investor, made a meaningful investment in InfoArmor in May 2016. The funding positions InfoArmor to pursue future acquisition opportunities and other expansion efforts.

“Summit brings considerable expertise in channel relationship building, technology, talent sourcing and business development – all of which will benefit InfoArmor as we move forward,” added Schreiber. “We are excited to leverage the resources Summit offers, as well as the firm’s deep experience in the security sector.”
