Mark Anderson

Palo Alto Networks named a new president this month, appointing former executive vice president Mark Anderson into the role. A more than four-year veteran of the company, Anderson now is responsible for the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company's sales, go-to-market strategy, customer support and business development. CEO Mark McLaughlin said in a statement at the time that Anderson's appointment, alongside that of his replacement David Peranich, will help Palo Alto Networks accelerate its growth and scale in the market.

"I am delighted with these appointments that will enable us to continue our march to be the leading global security company and seamlessly scale our organization. I look forward to working with both Mark and Dave for years to come," McLaughlin said in a statement.
