E. Palo Alto, November 5, 2015 -- Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN), a cybersecurity company, today announced the appointment of Gary Moore to its Board of Directors. Mr. Moore joins Finjan following his departure from Cisco Systems, Inc. in his executive leadership roles as President and COO.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gary onto the Finjan Board and feel privileged to be the first public company board he is committing to after his successful Cisco career as President and COO,” said Daniel Chinn, Finjan’s Chairman. “Time and time again Gary has demonstrated his expertise in influencing companies towards growth and increased shareholder value. His experience on multiple boards across computing and communications, security and data analytics should prove to be invaluable. I am confident he will be a key contributor to Finjan’s future success.”
“I am excited to join the board of Finjan and welcome the challenges ahead,” said Gary Moore, incoming Director for Finjan. “Throughout my career I have led companies towards global expansion and ultimately increased shareholder value. I look forward to fostering Finjan’s 20-year history in the cybersecurity space and building upon the growth opportunities ahead.”
Gary will fill a vacancy on Finjan’s Board of Directors created following the resignation of Michael Eisenberg, a general partner at Benchmark Capital and now partner of Aleph, a Tel Aviv based early-stage venture fund.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my twelve years of service on Finjan’s board and continue to believe the company has a bright future ahead with its growth initiatives,” said Michael Eisenberg. “Now is the right time for me to hand over the reins to focus on my venture interests and I know I am leaving my position in very capable hands with the appointment of Gary Moore.”
“We would like to thank Michael for his countless contributions to the Finjan board and his mentoring of the company over the past twelve years. His venture background and leadership in the Compensation and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees have been invaluable and will be greatly missed,” said Daniel Chinn.
