Amanda Berger to Lead Customer Success Strategy

As Chief Customer Officer, Amanda Berger will oversee Corelight's global customer success organization, ensuring customers achieve value throughout every stage of their relationship with the company—from implementation and operational success to renewals and long-term expansion.

Her appointment reflects Corelight's continued investment in helping enterprises maximize the effectiveness of its AI-powered network security platform amid a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape.

"Amanda has spent her career turning customer trust into measurable business outcomes, and that's exactly what our customers expect as they scale their use of Corelight's platform," said Brian Dye, Corelight CEO. "As security teams take on an increasingly complex, AI-driven threat landscape, they need a partner who ensures the value of network evidence compounds over time. Amanda's track record of building world-class customer organizations makes her the right leader to help us deliver on that promise at scale."

Extensive Leadership Experience Across Cybersecurity and SaaS

Before joining Corelight, Berger served as Chief Customer Officer at Employ, HackerOne, Lucidworks, and RichRelevance, where she led customer retention and expansion strategies.

Earlier in her career, she managed professional services organizations at Guidance Software, known for its EnCase® digital investigations platform, and at MicroStrategy, an AI-powered business intelligence provider.

Her experience spans enterprise software, cybersecurity, AI technologies, ecommerce, and customer lifecycle management, providing expertise that aligns with Corelight's growing enterprise customer base.

Supporting AI-Driven Security Operations

Berger highlighted the growing importance of trusted security data as AI reshapes cybersecurity operations.

"What drew me to Corelight is how directly its customers connect the platform to outcomes—faster investigations, fewer blind spots, real confidence in their defenses. That's rare in security, where evidence often gets lost in noise," said Berger. "My focus will be making sure that trust translates into measurable value at every stage of the customer relationship, from onboarding through renewal and expansion, particularly as AI is creating a state of constant vulnerability and attack and the need for ground truth data is even more critical."

Strengthening the AI SOC Vision

The leadership appointment follows several strategic initiatives at Corelight, including the addition of cybersecurity veteran Hatem Naguib to its board of directors, Tenable co-founder Jack Huffard as an advisor, and the expansion of the company's Open Network Detection and Response (Open NDR) platform with passive asset classification and network performance monitoring capabilities.

These developments reinforce Corelight's focus on delivering high-fidelity network evidence that helps security operations centers (SOCs) detect, investigate, and respond to increasingly sophisticated AI-driven cyber threats.

With Amanda Berger leading customer success, Corelight aims to strengthen customer engagement while helping enterprises maximize the long-term value of AI-powered network visibility and threat detection.
