CAMPBELL, Calif. – 7 January 2016 – Forescout Technologies, Inc. announced today the appointment of Myles Bray as Vice President of EMEA Sales. Bray has significant experience building and developing EMEA-based sales teams, in fast-growing, channel-centric businesses.
Myles Bray joins Forescout with a background in security and networking. During his tenure at F5 Networks, where he led the UK, Ireland and Africa region, Bray delivered significant double-digit growth, whilst substantially developing the partner and integrator ecosystem.

I am eager and confident to deliver on the challenge to grow the Forescout sales team and business in EMEA to the next level.”
