About Jeff Hurmuses

Building Teams GTM & Market-Entry Strategies Digital Transformations Start-up, turnaround, and high-growth businesses all require leadership that is broad in perspective, merging all core functional disciplines to achieve common goals and deliver aggressive performance results. In my career, I have done just that. With more than 25 years of senior-level management experience, I have directed and led all strategic, operating, sales, marketing, and product/services functions for international businesses. Most significantly, I have repeatedly surpassed revenue, profit, and growth expectations to deliver bottom-line results, and drive strong enterprise and customer value. Start-up, turnaround, and high-growth businesses also require visionary leadership. It is not enough to manage the day-to-day operations. It is critical that the leadership team provide direction and action to create and empower high-performing teams to deliver and sustain profitable business growth. My achievements reflect my ability to deliver: Led the start-up and positioning of Malwarebytes in Asia Pacific—to support a strategic transition to an enterprise company, accelerating expansion of the region with double-digit revenue growth, market entry in 10 countries, and multiple external awards and recognition. Turned around underperforming sales revenues, rebuilt Asia-Pacific region, and played a key leadership role in the successful IPO of Barracuda Networks—driving 37% growth in the first year. Established and launched operations in Asia for Polycom, building a team of 80 employees, and driving $85M+ in annual revenues—playing an integral role in its growth from $30M to $600M in less than eight years. Served as Managing Director of Asia and Europe for BusinessWeek International, establishing a regional base of operations to increase the circulation base—driving a 4% annual growth rate to 56%, and surpassing revenue production goals. And, perhaps most significantly, start-up, turnaround, and high-growth businesses demand excellence and require leadership able to strengthen their value proposition and brand, their products, their technology, and their customer relationships. Again, all areas in which I have excelled.
