While there, he was responsible for growing new ARR, developing channel and OEM relationships, overseeing customer satisfaction and sales operations, and go-to-market functions.

Previously he held executive sales leadership positions at a number of companies, including Cylance (acquired by Blackberry), Forcepoint, and Blue Coat Systems. John actively invests in technology startups and holds a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Long Beach.

“Deep observability has never been more important to cybersecurity strategies, bringing the visibility that organizations require to detect hidden threats and strengthen security posture,” said Giacomini. “I’m excited to join this talented team and help lead Gigamon into its next chapter of growth, supporting the company’s mission to secure and manage complex hybrid cloud infrastructure with its Deep Observability Pipeline.”
