Imperva names Sunil Nagdev as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Services and Support

Imperva Inc. has announced that Sunil Nagdev has joined the company as the Senior Vice President of Worldwide Services and Support. In his new role, Nagdev will report directly to Imperva President and CEO, Anthony Bettencourt, and will be responsible for building and scaling the company’s services and support team. This is Nagdev’s second time with Imperva; from April 2008 to January 2011 he was the company’s Vice President, Worldwide Services. Between Imperva appointments, Nagdev was Senior Vice President, Global Services and Support with Coverity Inc., a provider of software quality and security testing solutions.

Sunil Nagdev has a track record of building successful and profitable professional services and consulting organizations, and for creating strong partner-friendly service strategies, as well as strong entrepreneurial leadership experience in both start-up and established software company environments.

Most recently, Nagdev applied his specialized expertise to build the global services, support, training and sales engineering functions at Coverity, which was acquired by Synopsys in March 2014. His past successes at Coverity included implementing a maturity model to drive adoption and renewal rates. Prior to his roles at Coverity and Imperva, Nagdev was Vice President, Worldwide Professional Services and Technical Support for Tablus Inc., a leading provider of Data Loss Prevention solutions that was acquired by EMC; and Senior Vice President of Worldwide Professional Services and Technical Support with Verity Inc., and then with Autonomy Ltd. after its acquisition of Verity. Earlier in his career, Nagdev held roles in technical support and software engineering.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Sunil again, having had the great opportunity to work with him at Coverity and Verity,” said Anthony Bettencourt. “Sunil brings a wealth of experience in building and scaling world class Services and Support teams. He did this effectively for Coverity, turning these functions into competitive weapons. Imperva is fortunate to have Sunil back as we drive towards achieving aggressive growth goals, while at the same time keeping our customers’ needs front and center.”

“Given the significant changes in the overall threat landscape, there are tremendous opportunities, as well as a general need for organizations to expand their security services and support,” said Nagdev. “Imperva has demonstrated a tireless commitment to developing products and technologies that evolve and scale to address the ever-changing threat environment, and I’m looking forward to bringing this same tireless commitment to helping Imperva customers optimize their investment for superior security and compliance.”
