Phosphorus Names Brett Raphael as Chief Revenue Officer

Phosphorus, a leader in proactive security and management solutions for the extended Internet of Things (xIoT), recently announced the promotion of Brett Raphael to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Previously serving as the Interim CRO and Senior Vice President for the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region, Raphael will now be responsible for crafting and implementing the company’s global revenue strategy.

Chris Rouland, the Founder and CEO of Phosphorus, expressed his confidence in Raphael's ability, stating, "Brett is a proven leader building winning teams, driving record growth, and forging client partnerships that deliver real results for our customers." His vision comes at a critical time when the demand for effective xIoT solutions has never been higher, as organizations seek not only to identify problems but also to resolve them swiftly. Under Raphael’s leadership, the sales organization has pivoted to a customer-first approach, which aims to secure and manage devices in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Raphael's career trajectory is impressive. Before joining Phosphorus, he held significant roles at CrowdStrike, where he established a strong presence in the APJ market. His leadership during his interim tenure was marked by considerable expansion in customer acquisition and engagement. Since his appointment, the company has experienced remarkable growth, adding clients at an unprecedented rate and expanding existing relationships effectively. Phosphorus has successfully scanned over 5 billion IP addresses, transitioning once-unknown devices into a manageable and secure framework of cybersecurity.

The company's upward trend is also reflected in the increasing compliance and engagement levels of its customers. This is evidenced by a 157% year-over-year increase in xIoT device password rotations and a robust 65% growth in firmware updates. These metrics indicate a significant shift from merely discovering vulnerabilities to automating remediation processes, showcasing an evolution in customer maturity levels with respect to cybersecurity measures.

Raphael himself acknowledged, "Phosphorus has built a strong reputation for delivering exceptional value to its clients through deep domain expertise and a culture of innovation." He expressed excitement for leading the revenue organization at such a pivotal phase in the company’s growth.

The appointment of Raphael to the CRO position underscores Phosphorus's dedication to enhancing its executive leadership in line with global expansion goals and rising enterprise demand for xIoT security solutions. As organizations worldwide look to fortify their defenses against emerging threats in the digital landscape, leaders like Raphael are central to ensuring effective growth and strategic customer engagement.
