Benchmark Executive Search™, the pioneer in performance-based executive search, today announced that it has placed Michael Morgan, a security software industry veteran, as VP Worldwide Sales and Customer Support at Trust Digital. Mr. Morgan joins Trust Digital from Cloakware where he was Senior Vice President of Sales and, prior to that, EMC where he established the company’s Homeland Security business.

 

Trust Digital is the leading provider of smartphone security management software for securing enterprise data that resides at the edge of the network where smartphones and PDAs have access to corporate information. The company is VC-backed by Fairhaven Capital Partners, Summerhill Venture Partners, Core Capital Partners and Avansis Ventures.

Trust Digital selected Benchmark Executive Search (Benchmark) to lead the search based on their track record and reputation for landing top-notch players for clients, ability to really understand Trust Digital’s business, vast network of executive relationships in the software/IT security space, and the firm’s unique engagement model.

“Benchmark understood our needs and fielded a very high quality short list of candidates,” said Nick Magliato, CEO, Trust Digital. “We were able to find the perfect candidate from that list—Mike is a real impact player—and we completed the search in two weeks. The partners at Benchmark are experts at understanding early stage/emerging technology companies and how to attract and close A+ talent. I was very impressed by the entire experience and would use them again."

The partners at Benchmark have successfully completed hundreds of technology searches for a breadth of organizations—ranging from established industry leaders to pre-revenue startups. Benchmark partners brings a unique perspective, having been on both sides of the table in CEO/entrepreneur roles with software and IT security companies, and partners with executive search firms.  As a result, the team has the deep domain experience and personal relationships required to be highly effective representatives of their clients to the strongest executives in the country.

Benchmark Executive Search™ has fundamentally changed the way executive search and recruiting is done in the technology industry.  Benchmark’s performance-based engagement model is unique to the retained executive search industry.  The traditional model requires significant retainers and financial guarantees before any work is done.  Benchmark’s model reverses that—the firm earns the majority of its fees when a search is complete. Founded by executive search and technology industry veterans, Benchmark’s principals have over 60 years of combined experience in search and recruiting with Austin McGregor Executive Search, Heidrick & Struggles, and TMP Worldwide, among others.  For more information go to www.benchmark-hc.com.
