Lumu has announced a major organizational evolution, restructuring its global go-to-market strategy and appointing key regional leaders to meet accelerating demand for its AI-driven security solutions. This shift to a regionally empowered model is designed to support the company’s 2026 vision of making effective, continuous security operations accessible to organizations worldwide in the face of machine-speed threats.
Lumu is restructuring into agile, regional powerhouses to accelerate global growth.
The move aims to execute its "SecOps for All" vision by 2026.
Three internal executives have been promoted to SVP roles for key regions.
Fernando Cuervo leads EMEA entry and global growth.
Jarrett Benavidez oversees North American expansion and customer success.
German Patiño drives strategy and growth for the Latin American market.
The strategic pivot responds directly to the evolving cyber threat environment, where adversarial AI and autonomous attacks are compressing breach timelines from days to minutes. This new reality demands real-time, localized defensive capabilities. Lumu's new structure unifies growth and customer success functions within each region, aiming to create agile units capable of countering the global rise in automated cyber-attacks with speed and precision.
To lead this next phase, Lumu has promoted three seasoned executives to Senior Vice President roles, granting them full responsibility for regional strategy and end-to-end customer experience. This is intended to ensure that Lumu’s Continuous Compromise Assessment® model becomes a foundational element of modern security operations globally.
Fernando Cuervo is now SVP of Growth and EMEA. He will spearhead the company's official market entry into Europe, the Middle East, and Africa while continuing to guide global growth initiatives.
Jarrett Benavidez has been promoted to SVP of North America. He holds full responsibility for expanding Lumu's market presence and ensuring the long-term success of customers across the United States and Canada.
German Patiño assumes the role of SVP of Latin America. He will oversee the region's continued growth and lead strategy to deepen Lumu's footprint across Latin American markets.
The leadership expansion is framed as a foundational step toward achieving the company's ambitious 2026 goal. "2026 is the year we make 'SecOps for All' a reality," said Ricardo Villadiego, Founder and CEO of Lumu. "As AI lowers the barrier for entry for cybercriminals, organizations can no longer rely on periodic snapshots of their security posture. Our new structure is foundational for our next era of growth. By empowering our regional leaders, we are positioned to deliver the continuous, real-time understanding of compromise that is required to survive and thrive in today’s automated threat environment."
This global leadership expansion signals Lumu's commitment to scaling its operations and delivering its continuous compromise assessment technology to a broader international audience, emphasizing localized support and rapid response to the automated cyber threats defining the current era.
