As organizations rethink data protection for the AI era, AI DLP company Jazz has strengthened its leadership team with six senior appointments to accelerate growth, product innovation and go-to-market execution. The hires follow the company’s emergence from stealth earlier this year and build on its $61 million in funding as it scales to meet increasing enterprise demand.
The rapid adoption of generative AI has transformed how sensitive information moves throughout organizations. Data now flows continuously across AI assistants, SaaS applications and autonomous agents, exposing the limitations of legacy data loss prevention technologies that were designed long before today’s AI-driven environments.
“Traditional DLP was built to generate alerts, not understanding,” said Ido Livneh, CEO and co-founder of Jazz. “Security teams are overwhelmed by noise while still lacking the context they need to make confident decisions about sensitive data. We built Jazz to give organizations clear, actionable intelligence instead of another stream of alerts. As demand for AI-native data protection continues to accelerate, expanding our leadership team enables us to scale the business, advance the platform and help customers regain visibility and control over their data.”
The new VP and C-level appointments include:
- Sean Robinson, VP, Sales: 12 years of sales expertise across early-stage and publicly-traded cybersecurity startups, from Halcyon to Palo Alto Networks
- Rickie Goyal, VP, Revenue Operations: More than 20 years in sales and revenue operations, including as VP of RevOps at data security company Cyberhaven
- Michael Calev, promoted to COO: Eight years at Perception Point, most recently as VP of Strategy & Corporate Development, where he played a key role in the company’s acquisition by Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT); previously in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and M&A consulting at KPMG; IDF Unit 8200 alum
- Danielle Guetta, promoted to VP, Marketing: 10+ years of marketing experience in high-growth tech and security startups; former director, product marketing at Astrix Security
- Shani Nago, VP, HR: ~20 years of experience; most recently led the people function at Axonius
- Lior Magram, VP, Research and Development: IDF Unit 81 alum; most recently served as unit’s group lead for cybersecurity embedded research
The leadership expansion comes during a period of rapid growth and industry recognition for Jazz. Since emerging from stealth earlier this year, the company has quickly established itself as one of cybersecurity’s fastest-rising startups.
At RSA Conference 2026, Jazz was selected as the winner of the CrowdStrike, AWS and NVIDIA Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator from nearly 1,000 applicants. It later earned Best Pitch at the Team8 CISO Village Choice Awards, where enterprise CISOs recognized the company’s vision for the future of data security, before being named Best Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) Platform at The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards 2026.
Jazz is also challenging the status quo with its “DLP Sucks” campaign, an industry initiative that gives security professionals a platform to share their frustrations with legacy data loss prevention technology.
Backed by strong early customer adoption and growing market demand, Jazz is rapidly establishing itself as a category-defining company, helping enterprises replace legacy DLP with an AI-native approach built for the speed, complexity and scale of modern data movement.
