Revenue marketer. Sales champion. Data devotee. For 19 years, I've built regional, partner, and corporate marketing programs across the IT Networking and Cybersecurity industries that don't just generate activity - they move pipeline. I've learned that great marketing isn't measured in impressions or clicks; it's measured in the deals sales closes because marketing showed up as a true partner. I lead Global Field, Partner, and Corporate Events Marketing at Varonis, a leader in AI data security, where I get to do what I love most: aligning our channel organization with partners, launching go-to-market programs that give sales real momentum, and turning prospect and customer insight into campaigns that actually convert. Data isn't a nice-to-have process, it's the foundation every strategy is built on, from the first target account to the last touchpoint before close. Connecting with people is my passion. Whatever the background, whatever the communication style, I strive to find the common ground, because the best marketing programs aren't built in a vacuum, they're built in strong partnership with sales, the channel, and customers alike.

Vas Kospanos is a cybersecurity marketing leader with a knack for translating complex security concepts into conversations that people actually want to have. Currently leading regional marketing across EMEA and APJ at Bugcrowd, Vas has spent his career helping organisations navigate everything from cloud security and AI to crowdsourced security and the ever-evolving threat landscape. Before Bugcrowd, he held senior marketing roles at Lacework, Automation Anywhere, Temenos, Genpact, and PNMsoft, building go-to-market strategies for some of the industry's most innovative technology companies.Known to many as "That Greek Marketing Guy," Vas is passionate about connecting security practitioners, researchers, and business leaders through engaging events, compelling stories, and the occasional terrible cyber pun. He firmly believes the best security conversations happen when you remove the jargon, add a little humour, and remember that not every vulnerability starts with a CVE...some start with clicking "Reply All."When he's not championing the hacker community or talking about the value of crowdsourced security, you'll probably find him convincing marketers that "zero trust" isn't a relationship strategy and reminding security teams that the best exploits should stay in the lab, not the demo environment.
