Pillar’s lead investor at Shield Capital, Elias Manousos, also former CVP at Microsoft responsible for AI Copilot for Security and Threat Intelligence, and former CEO of RiskIQ, commented: “Jenna is a force-multiplier for growth, with a proven playbook for scaling category-defining companies from early traction to global leadership. She did it at RiskIQ and Zero Networks, and she will do it again at Pillar, building a world-class GTM operation to drive exponential growth.”
