Brinqa, the leader in unified exposure management, has expanded its executive leadership team with the appointment of Heather Rubash as Chief Marketing Officer. This appointment underscores CEO Dan Pagel’s strategy to re-envision Brinqa by building a world-class executive team positioned to scale the company’s growth trajectory and reinforce its leadership in enterprise cybersecurity.

Rubash brings a proven track record of driving transformational growth. At NetSPI, she helped scale revenue sixfold, expanded the marketing organization, executed global launches, and spearheaded the company’s global expansion. At Total Expert, she fueled a fivefold revenue increase, supported critical funding rounds, and significantly expanded and strengthened the marketing function. Drawing on this experience, she is exceptionally well-placed to accelerate Brinqa’s enterprise presence, expand its market visibility, and drive the marketing strategy needed to fuel the company’s next phase of growth.

“Heather’s appointment is another deliberate step in building the world-class leadership team Brinqa needs to achieve its vision,” said Pagel. “Our record growth proves the market is ready for a new approach to exposure management, and Heather’s expertise in scaling brands and driving demand will be pivotal as we continue to accelerate into 2026.”

Backed by Insight Partners, Brinqa has delivered record-breaking first-half results, including 40 percent growth in new logo bookings and a 28 percent increase in average Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Building on this momentum, Brinqa is strengthening its market position by expanding its leadership team and enhancing its platform capabilities, helping enterprises consolidate security data into actionable insights and manage risk at scale.

“Enterprises don’t need another security tool, they need clarity. Brinqa is uniquely positioned to turn complex exposure data into actionable insights that drive real business outcomes,” said Rubash. “With the company’s exceptional growth and market momentum this year, I’m excited to join Brinqa at such a pivotal time. I look forward to joining Dan and the leadership team to elevate Brinqa’s presence in the market, deepen engagement with enterprise customers, and showcase the value our platform delivers to some of the world’s largest organizations. The need for unified exposure management has never been greater, and I look forward to this next phase of growth and innovation.”

Amad Fida, Chairman and Founder, Brinqa, said: “When Dan joined as CEO, we set out to transform Brinqa for its next era of growth. Heather’s appointment underscores our ongoing commitment to that vision. Her experience driving marketing excellence in high-growth environments will ensure Brinqa continues to set the standard in exposure management.”

Rubash is the latest senior appointment by Pagel, joining other key hires including Brad Hibbert as Chief Operating Officer & Chief Strategy Officer and Erik Helms as Chief Revenue Officer – leaders brought in to help execute Brinqa’s renewed vision and accelerate the company’s enterprise growth.
