Rubrik appoints Antoine Le Tard as APAC VP

Rubrik has appointed experienced cybersecurity leader, Antoine Le Tard as its VP for the APAC region.

Le Tard said his priority as the Rubrik APAC leader will be to build upon the company’s positive momentum and strong community of partners and customers while continuing to accelerate Rubrik’s mission to secure the world’s data.    

Based in Sydney, Australia, Le Tard brings more than 25 years of IT industry experience following senior leadership roles at RSA Security, Verizon, and most recently as global vice president APJC at AppDynamics.

“There is no way to stop every single cyber attack, regardless of what industry you’re in,” said Le Tard.

“With this in mind, the future of cybersecurity lies in turning the traditional fortress mentality on its head and making the business resilient in the wake of an attack. That’s why I joined Rubrik. The company’s approach to data security helps ensure potentially catastrophic incidents become minor inconveniences.”

Le Tard will work closely with APAC country leaders including Scott Magill, Koichi Ishii, and Ritesh Gupta who leads Rubrik’s business in Australia and New Zealand, Japan, and India, respectively.

On his appointment he said on LinkedIn, “I am super excited to announce that I will be leading the Rubrik GTM across APJ. Working alongside the world-class leadership of Bipul Sinha Brian McCarthy Martin Brown Alok Agrawal JP Bolen and the Rockstar Rubrikans in APJ.

“I believe my skills and experience have prepared me to have a positive impact on the future direction of a company that unlocks the potential of our customers data while maintaining cyber and operational resilience.”

Antoine’s appointment follows Rubrik’s strong global momentum including recently surpassing US$400 Million in Subscription ARR, accelerating customer count to over 4,500, and the appointments of former CIA CISO, Michael Mestrovich, as Rubrik’s new CISO, and former director of the US Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency, Chris Krebs, as chair of Rubrik’s CISO Advisory Board.
