Director of Sales - North America

FireCompass is an Agentic AI platform for autonomous penetration testing and red teaming across Web, API, and infrastructure. It discovers shadow assets and web applications, safely validates what is exploitable, and connects findings into multi-stage attack paths with near-zero false positives.

It can operate autonomously or with expert-in-the-loop validation.

FireCompass has 30 analyst recognitions across Gartner, Forrester, and IDC, and is trusted by Fortune 1000 enterprises.
