Qualys, Inc., a provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, announced Wendy M. Pfeiffer joined its board of directors. Wendy brings more than 20 years of technology industry and executive leadership to the Qualys Board.
“It is exciting to join the Qualys board at a time when the company is significantly expanding the depth of its cloud platform well beyond vulnerability management,” said Pfeiffer. “As a technologist, I’m interested in sharing in Qualys’ journey to bring increasing capability, scalability and value to modern IT.”
“We are delighted to have Wendy join our board. As the CIO of Nutanix, she brings in-depth knowledge of the challenges CIOs face as they work to manage and secure an ever more complex hybrid IT environment,” said Philippe Courtot chairman and CEO of Qualys.
“Her perspective will be invaluable as Qualys delivers its new Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app to provide companies with a single source of truth for their IT environment. Gaining visibility is mission-critical for companies as you cannot secure what you do not know or cannot see.”
“Wendy is a great addition to our board, especially at this time where the adoption of the Qualys Cloud Platform and the introduction of Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory is gaining momentum,” said Sandra Bergeron, lead independent director of the Qualys Board.
Wendy has served as the CIO of Nutanix since 2017. She leads Nutanix’s Global Information Technology function in support of the enterprise cloud company’s business operations and employees. Prior to Nutanix, Wendy led technology teams for industry-makers like GoPro, Yahoo!, Cisco Systems, Exodus Communications and Robert Half. She is a board member for the Girls in Tech global nonprofit and in 2018 was named to the National Diversity Council’s Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology. Wendy holds a B.S. degree in finance and technology, from the University of Phoenix.
