Executive Summary

Marc DeGaetano is Chief Revenue Officer of BigID, the data security, privacy and data management company, where he leads the global sales organization.

He arrived with more than two decades of enterprise sales leadership in adjacent parts of the same market, at Rubrik, Tanium, Symantec and Veritas, and he remains in the role on BigID’s current executive team.

Career Highlights

• Appointed as part of a wider BigID sales leadership build-out announced the same day, with regional, federal, revenue operations and inside sales leaders hired from Informatica, Collibra and Prevalent.

• Previously worked at Rubrik, Tanium, Symantec and Veritas, companies spanning data protection, endpoint security and storage management.

Professional Journey

DeGaetano’s career before BigID ran through several of the companies that defined enterprise data protection and security over two decades. BigID’s announcement of his appointment names four of them: Veritas, the storage and backup software company; Symantec, the security vendor; Tanium, the endpoint management and security platform; and Rubrik, the data security and backup company. Across those employers the company credits him with more than 23 years of senior-level sales, data security and data management leadership experience, and its chief executive, Dimitri Sirota, described him as having “a track record of leading enterprise and strategic account organizations selling platform-centric solutions to security and data leaders”. The specific titles he held at each are not stated in any first-party source.

BigID named him Chief Revenue Officer on 23 April 2021. BigID was founded in 2016 on the premise, as its own site puts it, that security, privacy and governance should start with the data itself, giving organizations an understanding of what data they have, whose data it is and where it lives. His appointment was the headline of a broader expansion of the sales organization announced the same day, which brought in leaders for North American, US East, US West and US Federal sales from Informatica, a revenue operations leader from Collibra, and an inside sales and sales development leader from Prevalent. At the time he said that enabling companies to understand and maximize their data while protecting their customers’ privacy was “absolutely critical”.

More than five years on, he continues to lead revenue at BigID, and the company’s executive team page lists him as Chief Revenue Officer alongside chief executive Dimitri Sirota and co-founder and chief product officer Nimrod Vax.
