Brian Gumbel, SVP of Worldwide Sales at Forescout Technologies.
“Tom and Brian are tremendous additions to our Board,” said Ruvi Kitov,

to 2014. He built and scaled its field operations through its IPO in
2012, and helped bookings grow from $30 million to near $1 billion
during his tenure. Prior to Splunk, he held various sales and executive
management positions at BMC Software and IBM. He currently serves on
several corporate boards, including Rapid 7, Egnyte, and Outsystems.
Tom owns View Consulting, an advisory services firm that helps the

Brian Gumbel serves as SVP of Worldwide Sales at Forescout Technologies.
He joined Forescout in 2015 and previously, from 2014 to 2015, he led

deals being closed with Fortune 500 customers.
Before building the sales organization at Tanium, Brian was at McAfee
