September 2024 by Marc Jacob
Bugcrowd announced that Patrick Morley has joined its board of directors. Morley served as CEO of Carbon Black, a cloud-based endpoint security software provider, for 14 years. He led the company from its early days to an IPO on Nasdaq in 2018 and subsequently oversaw its acquisition by VMware in 2019.
Morley joins a seasoned board at Bugcrowd, which has guided the company through significant growth in 2024. This growth includes a major $102 million funding round, the acquisition of Informer, and the addition of over 130 new customers to the Bugcrowd Platform in the first half of this year.
During his tenure as CEO of Carbon Black, Morley helped grow the company from 20 employees to 1,200, servicing over 20,000 customers. In 2019, VMware acquired Carbon Black for $2.1 billion. Before his time at Carbon Black, Morley was CEO of digital-identity company Imprivata, followed by COO of former software company Corel Corporation.
