AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies,
today announced the addition of Julie Anne Cullivan to its
Board of Directors effective July 19,
2017.
Ms. Cullivan recently joined ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a
leading Internet of Things (IoT) security company, as SVP, Business
Operations and CIO where she is responsible for leading the cross
functional initiatives and information security strategy to support
the fast-growing company. Formerly EVP, Business Operations and CIO
at FireEye, Inc., Ms. Cullivan was a member of the executive team
that set the company's strategy. With responsibility for both
Business Operations and Information Technology, Ms. Cullivan helped
scale FireEye from a private company with $80 million in revenue, through its successful
IPO, to a global publicly traded company with revenues of over
$700 million and a $2.7 billion valuation.
A thought leader in sales, channel, cloud, cyber security, and
business digitization, she is adept at implementing innovative
technology solutions to enable such strategic imperatives. Ms.
Cullivan has held executive positions focused on sales,
channel and marketing operations at Autodesk, McAfee, EMC, and
Oracle. She is a recognized leader in the cyber security field and
a sought-after speaker on topics including women in security,
security as a boardroom imperative, innovation, and building high
impact teams. Ms. Cullivan has a B.S. degree in Finance from
Santa Clara University and brings
extensive business, information technology and cyber security
expertise to the Axon Board.
"I'm extremely happy to welcome Ms. Cullivan to Axon's Board of
Directors," said Axon CEO and founder Rick Smith. "Her combined extensive business,
sales operations, IT and cyber security expertise brings huge value
to the Axon Board of Directors. The value of such expertise can
hardly be overstated at a time when our company continues to grow,
expand and evolve."
"I look forward to contributing to Axon's success as the company
continues on its mission to protect life," said Julie Anne Cullivan. "I am most excited about
how they are leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Cloud
technologies to deliver on this vision."
Axon believes that diversity at all levels of the business
should reflect the diversity of society as a whole. The
company proactively reached out to The Athena Alliance whose
