Co-Founder Guy Moskowitz Becomes President in Strategic Leadership Evolution
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ChannelFirst—Coro, the leading cybersecurity platform for small and midsize businesses, today announced that it has appointed Joe Sykora, a recognized leader in the cybersecurity channel ecosystem, as Chief Executive Officer. The move marks a bold new chapter for Coro as it accelerates global growth and deepens its commitment to the channel ecosystem.
Sykora succeeds co-founder Guy Moskowitz, who has led Coro with vision and disciplined execution for over one decade. Under his leadership, the company has grown from an ambitious startup into a global, category-defining cybersecurity leader. Moskowitz will assume the role of President and will be actively involved in the company’s global expansion and strategic initiatives.
“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to lead Coro as a CEO and co-founder during the last decade, growing it from a small startup into a global company,” said Guy Moskowitz. “With our momentum rapidly building and global opportunities ahead, it was the right time to hand the reins to Joe. When I recruited Joe earlier this year, it was clear he’s a proven leader, a channel champion, and exactly the right person to lead Coro into our next phase of expansion. His appointment as CEO reinforces our unwavering commitment to a 100% channel-first strategy.”
Channel Vision Meets Proven Execution
Sykora brings unmatched experience across the global cybersecurity channel, having held top leadership roles at Proofpoint, Bitdefender, and Fortinet. Since joining Coro earlier this year as SVP and GM of the Americas and ANZ, he has already made a measurable impact, aligning go-to-market operations and strengthening partner engagement across regions.
“I’m honored to step into the CEO role and grateful to the Board for their confidence in me,” said Sykora. “I also want to thank Guy for his visionary leadership and for building such a strong foundation over more than a decade. The energy and trajectory inside Coro are truly exceptional. I look forward to working closely with our customers, partners, and the entire team at Coro to accelerate our next chapter of hypergrowth.”
