About Christopher Marra

By the age of 22 I opened my own lending and financial company with 3 offices and 15+ sales reps for over 6 years with established credit lines of 15+ million at a number of financial institutions like, Country Wide, Wells Fargo and Chase. My first year in software sales lacking any software knowledge or experience, was able to take the worst account patch in the Northeast from $350K in run rateto $3.98 Million in first year. Made 100% Achievers Club all years eligible (4.). Have experience selling directly into large global financial institutions like JPMC, Deutsche Bank, Guardian Life, CitiBank, Metlife, Goldman Sachs. I have been selling cyber solutions for the past 20 years to C-levels in a range of different verticals. In my current role I have reached over 200% of plan year over year and closed deals with top fortune 500 as well as developed relationships with OEM partners and a large MSSP network. Currently working in sales leadership in the startup cyber space I have been able to help Ensilo successfully sell to Fortinet and now have been able to take Appguard to a new level with funding and sales.
