Experienced Veteran Brings Proven Expertise in Sales and Partner Strategy to Accelerate Growth in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece

HOBOKEN, N.J. – January 16, 2025 — Semperis, a pioneer in identity-driven cyber resilience, today announced the appointment of Antonio Feninno as Area Vice President of Sales for EMEA South. In this role, Feninno will lead Semperis’ efforts to expand revenue, secure new customers, and lead a team of talented regional sales directors across Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece.

Feninno brings over 15 years of experience in sales and go-to-market strategies, with a strong history of driving business growth. Prior to joining Semperis, he served as Regional Sales Director for Southern Europe at Picus Security, where he was instrumental in delivering significant revenue increases. He has also held leadership roles at Tenable and IBM Security, further solidifying his expertise in cybersecurity and identity management.

“Antonio’s direct experience and exceptional results make him the ideal leader for Semperis’ growth in Southern Europe,” said David Lieberman, Vice President of Sales, Europe. “As organizations increasingly struggle to protect hybrid identity environments—particularly Active Directory—Antonio’s leadership will help Semperis address these critical challenges. Many companies overestimate their identity defenses, leaving them vulnerable to devastating ransomware attacks that can compromise Active Directory and disrupt entire networks. With Semperis protecting over 150 million identities worldwide, we empower organizations to intercept cyberattacks in progress and recover quickly from data integrity emergencies.”

Semperis continues to earn accolades for its innovations and commitment to excellence. The company was recently recognized as one of Dun’s 100 Best Tech Companies to Work For in 2024, alongside industry leaders such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Salesforce, Google, and Palo Alto Networks. Additionally, Semperis secured a spot on Inc. Magazine’s 2024 Best Workplaces for the third consecutive year.

Semperis’ impact extends beyond its commercial offerings. The company’s Purple Knight community tool, a free assessment solution designed to identify vulnerabilities in Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta, has been recognized by the leading cyber agencies from the Five Eyes Nations, including the NSA and CISA, as a critical resource for mitigating identity-based cyber risks. Trusted by organizations worldwide, Purple Knight underscores Semperis’ leadership in combating cyber threats. The company’s rapid growth and technological excellence have also been recognized by Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, with Semperis earning a place on the list for five consecutive years.
