Coro’s appointment of Joe Sykora as CEO reflects its commitment to scaling operations and strengthening its channel-first strategy. Sykora, who joined Coro in March 2025 as SVP and GM of the Americas and ANZ, has already streamlined go-to-market operations and deepened partner engagement. “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.”
With nearly three decades of experience, Sykora has held leadership roles at Proofpoint, Bitdefender, and Fortinet, where he drove significant revenue growth and global expansion. “I’m honored to step into the CEO role and grateful to the Board for their confidence in me,” said Sykora. His expertise in building channel ecosystems aligns with Coro’s 100% channel-first model, which has earned accolades like CRN’s Five Star Rating and G2’s Top 50 Security Products ranking.

This platform simplifies security management for SMBs with lean IT teams, reducing complexity and costs. Sykora aims to further enhance its usability and expand features, ensuring affordability and ease of use for managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients.
Under Sykora’s leadership, Coro is poised to accelerate its global presence, building on recent expansions into EMEA, ANZ, and a new London office. The company’s $100 million Series D funding in 2024 has fueled its growth, with a focus on partner enablement and innovation. Sykora’s revamped two-tier partner program emphasizes predictable margins and streamlined operations, making Coro a preferred choice for MSPs.
Coro’s rapid growth, with 2670% revenue increase over three years, has earned it spots on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 and Fortune’s Cyber 60 lists for two consecutive years. The company’s channel-first strategy and innovative platform continue to drive its dominance in the SMB cybersecurity market.
