Winsborrow will report directly to CEO Seshu Madhavapeddy, and lead all marketing, product management, and business development activities. Prior to Sipera, Winsborrow was the vice president of Product Marketing for McAfee, where he conceived and executed the most successful launch in company history, Total Protection Solutions, repositioning the company from anti-virus to security risk management. Winsborrow also held executive positions in marketing, product management and business development at leading security companies, including Symantec, Sygate, and Cloudmark, and unified communications vendors Cisco, Lucent and Nortel. "Eric is an extraordinary complement to the Sipera executive team, given his proven track record and background in both security and VoIP," said Madhavapeddy.
