Professional Journey

Morris has spent his career selling cybersecurity. Torq’s account of his background runs through Symantec, which he joined when it acquired the email security company MessageLabs, and BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, which he joined when it acquired SilverSky. He then held sales leadership positions at Palo Alto Networks and rose to Group Vice President at Splunk. Torq gives no dates or titles for the roles before Splunk.

In February 2023 Torq hired him as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales. It was growing fast at the time: it said revenue had grown 800% in 2022, it had recently moved its US headquarters to New York, and it had also hired Paulo Veloso, another Splunk sales leader, as Vice President of Sales for the Americas. When he joined, Morris said he saw strong demand for security automation among Fortune 500 companies in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.

In June 2024 Torq named him Chief Revenue Officer. The company credited his sales leadership with 300% revenue growth and 500% customer growth in 2023. It said the CRO role covered pipeline growth, geographic expansion, channel and partner programmes and new vertical markets. By then Torq was selling its platform as an AI-first replacement for older security orchestration (SOAR) tools. In January 2026 the company announced a $140 million Series D led by Merlin Ventures, at a $1.2 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to $332 million. Torq’s leadership page continues to list him as Chief Revenue Officer.
