Palo Alto Networks hires former Orange Business Services head

Cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks has hired Helmut Reisinger as CEO for its EMEA and Latin America (LATAM) operations.

Having previously served as CEO of Orange Business Services, Reisinger (pictured) will now support Palo Alto Networks President BJ Jenkins to drive the firm's global growth strategy and join CEO and chairman Nikesh Arora's management team.

"Helmut is a visionary executive who I've known as both a global business leader and close partner to our company,” said Aurora. “Working together with BJ, Helmut's relentless focus on the customer and understanding of the international business ecosystem will help us drive our robust EMEA business to future growth while developing our growing Latin American business."

Before joining Orange Business Services in 2007, he held leadership positions across Europe at Avaya, NextiraOne Germany and Alcatel Austria.

"I am excited to join Palo Alto Networks' extraordinary leadership team at what is a critical time for the cybersecurity industry," added Reisinger. "As demand to protect corporate and essential data escalates amid a growing threat landscape, there's no company better positioned to address these challenges around the globe."
