San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2012
CloudPassage, the leading provider of public and private cloud server security, announces Jack Duffy has joined the company as vice president of sales. Duffy, a seasoned sales executive with more than 25 years of experience in enterprise sales, operations and strategic partnering, will oversee sales strategy and execution for both direct and indirect channels.

Prior to this, he was executive vice president of sales and business development for GoGrid, a leading IaaS provider. During his tenure at GoGrid, Duffy led the company’s transition to cloud services, growing revenue by 104 percent, quadrupling the average revenue per user (ARPU) and increasing the customer lifetime value by 133 percent. Duffy has also held management positions at BigFix (IBM), PrincetonSoftech (IBM) and Portal Software (Oracle).
