An experienced leader, Jenkins has a proven track record of building brand and demand at leading B2B and B2C companies, including Elastic, Informatica, VMware and Symantec.

What does the appointment mean for SentinelOne?
“Sally has helped define some of the most influential brands across multiple industries. We have aggressive goals to expand our brand presence and market share and Sally’s expertise in SaaS, data and cybersecurity are the perfect trifecta to achieve them,” said Weingarten.
“The cybersecurity landscape has never been more complicated, and organisations desperately need a platform that can autonomously shield them from malicious attacks. Sally has a deep understanding of how to position and define our offerings in ways that will strengthen and solidify our leadership position across all market segments,” Weingarten said.
“The rise in cyber attacks, proliferation of remote work and devices to support it, as well as increase in cloud adoption have made infrastructure more difficult to protect,” said Jenkins.
“Firms are looking for ways to simplify their tech stack and bolster their security posture, and with its unparalleled technology and vision for the future of security, SentinelOne is uniquely positioned to do so. I look forward to elevating the company’s brand while continuing to be maniacally focused on generating demand to support the company’s unparalleled growth.”
