Cyber risk intelligence company Bitsight announced that it has appointed John Clancy as its chief executive officer, effective immediately. Clancy succeeds Steve Harvey, who is stepping down after six years of leadership. During his tenure, the company quadrupled in size and further established itself as a trusted partner to organizations worldwide. He will remain an advisor to the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve and the team have built a powerful leadership position in the market, fueled by unmatched data, global scale, and the trust of customers around the world,\u201d said Bob Brennan, chair of Bitsight\u2019s Board of Directors. \u201cWe are deeply grateful for his leadership and many contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn is a proven growth leader who knows how to scale organizations, drive innovation, and lead through periods of transformation,\u201d Brennan continued. \u201cAs AI reshapes the cybersecurity landscape, John\u2019s experience makes him the right leader to extend Bitsight\u2019s advantage and accelerate the company\u2019s next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clancy is an accomplished software executive with more than 25 years of experience building, scaling and transforming high-growth software businesses. Over the course of his career, he has served as CEO, president and private equity value creation leader and has led organizations through periods of growth, operational improvement, and market expansion.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Clancy served as managing director and head of portfolio operations at PSG Equity. There, he founded and led the value creation team focused on improving the commercial, financial and operating performance of more than 100 portfolio companies. Clancy also led PSG\u2019s Senior Advisor network of more than 30 CEOs. Clancy and his team designed and drove the firm\u2019s strategy for AI across the portfolio. This included helping companies launch new AI products and improve operational performance with AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of cybersecurity will be defined by resilience\u2014the ability to understand risk in real time, put it in business context, and act with speed and confidence. Bitsight is built on the critical, proprietary data that makes that possible, and with AI increasingly central to how organizations manage cyber risk, we are uniquely positioned to define what comes next,\u201d said John Clancy, incoming Bitsight CEO. \u201cI\u2019m honored to work with the team as we build on our strong foundation, accelerate innovation, and deliver even greater value to customers worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith deep experience scaling software companies and leading transformation, John is an outstanding fit for Bitsight,\u201d said Cary Davis, Managing Director at Warburg Pincus. \u201cHis track record driving growth, operational improvement and AI innovation makes him well positioned to lead Bitsight forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clancy is based in Boston, Massachusetts, and holds a B.A. from Assumption University.<\/p>\n

Last month, Bitsight announced Bitsight Security Posture Management (SPM), designed to help organizations measure, improve, and demonstrate cyber resilience. Powered by Bitsight\u2019s proprietary cyber risk data and external exposure intelligence, Bitsight SPM combines threat intelligence, business context, control governance, and benchmarking. The result is a more complete view of enterprise risk, stronger resilience over time, and a clearer way to communicate cybersecurity effectiveness in business terms.<\/p>\n
