Blumira has also expanded its sales team with several new Account Executives and Sales Development Representatives. These new hires underscore Blumira’s dedication to achieving market growth and streamlining business operations into 2023.

and growth of the organization. Drews will also identify opportunities to drive revenue and improve the overall sales process and the customer lifecycle.
Drews joins Blumira with nearly two decades of sales experience and almost a decade of experience in the cybersecurity industry. Kate jumpstarted her career in cybersecurity in 2014 at Duo Security,
where she worked as an Account Executive. From there, she worked her way up to several director-level roles at cybersecurity startups, including SkySync and Elevate Security. Most recently, Drews was Director of Revenue Operations at ThreatQuotient, where she focused on process optimization for all GTM teams, messaging, and sales enablement.
