About Romen Kuloor

I am a strategic, execution-focused VP of Product and business unit leader with a demonstrated track record of achieving impact for the company, business unit, product, and market growth goals by developing and delivering market-differentiating products with effective go-to-market. My expertise is in Cloud, SaaS, cybersecurity, data management & AI, networking, and wireless domains. I have a successful track record of creating and implementing growth strategies that have led to accelerated bookings (over 100% to plan), revenue growth, increased market share, and modernization of legacy products and platforms. I’ve executed tight timeline turnaround strategies for public companies and private equity-backed companies in the late stages of their investments, resulting in higher multiple exits and breathing new life into legacy products, increasing their value and market share. I have founded and grown venture-funded startups in Silicon Valley, allowing me to instill entrepreneurial rigor and an innovation mindset focused on customer needs in the organizations I lead. I have developed inorganic growth strategies for public companies to accelerate growth, including M&A, global strategic partnerships, and OEM / reseller relationships. I thrive in dynamic and collaborative environments where I can leverage my multidisciplinary expertise and leadership skills to drive change and achieve results across multi-faceted growth objectives.--------My contact information: romenkuloor@gmail.com--------Specialties: VP of Product Management, GM, CPO, Business Development, Partnerships, Product Development, GTM / Go-to-market, M&A, cybersecurity, Zero Trust, ZTNA, SWG / CASB, MFA, DLP, IAM, Identity, Threat Intel, DNS, API, XDR, Data Management, Cloud, PaaS, Analytics, AI, ML, IoT, Enterprise Software, B2B, Mobile, Networking, CNAP, CSPM, Kubernetes, Docker / Containers, Agile, Financial Services, Healthcare, Pharma, Supply Chain, Retail, MSP, MSSP.
