Bessemer Venture Partners’ Janelle Teng Joins Virtru’s Board of Directors
09 Julio 2024 - 8:00AM
Virtru today announced the appointment of Janelle Teng, Vice
President at Bessemer Venture Partners, a San Francisco-based
venture capital firm, to its Board of Directors.
Teng brings a wealth of experience
accelerating high-growth stage companies, with deep knowledge of
the ever-evolving SaaS and data infrastructure market. A Stanford
graduate, she also achieved an MBA at Harvard Business School.
“Virtru’s value proposition and
data-centric solutions benefit organizations across a wide range of
commercial and government markets, which makes this particularly
exciting for me,” said Teng. “As organizations continue to mature
in their adoption of zero-trust security architectures, they
inevitably see the need to not only safeguard data stored within
the enterprise, but also data that is shared externally. As the era
of zero trust security unfolds, Virtru is well-positioned to
capitalize on the trend of IT teams beginning to shift a portion of
their focus away from traditional perimeter-centric controls, and
closer to the data itself.”
“Janelle is a trailblazer in the
enterprise software space and we’re very lucky to have her on our
Board,” said John Ackerly, CEO and Co-Founder of Virtru. “Her
expertise will be hugely beneficial as we continue our mission to
empower organizations to activate the value of their sensitive data
through granular access control and zero trust sharing. Janelle
shares our vision of a more secure world and we look forward to
expanding our relationship with her and Bessemer Venture
Partners.”
This is the second board announcement
from Virtru in 2024, with Tiffany Gates also joining. Both Gates
and Teng’s appointments mark great momentum for the company and set
the tone for continued growth as Virtru drives innovation and scale
with its Data Security Platform. Powered by the Zero Trust Data
Format (ZTDF), the Virtru Data Security Platform enables
mission-critical collaboration, fine-grained access control, and
cross-domain data sharing.
