Asia Pacific — August 22, 2025 — Cybersecurity leader Tenable® (NASDAQ: TENB) has named Matthew Brown as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Brown takes over from Steve Vintz, who recently transitioned into the role of Co-Chief Executive Officer alongside Mark Thurmond.

The appointment comes at a pivotal time for Tenable, widely recognized as a global leader in exposure management—a field that identifies and closes cybersecurity gaps threatening enterprises worldwide. With Brown on board, the company signals its intent to pair financial discipline with continued expansion in the fast-growing cybersecurity market.

A Seasoned Finance Executive

Brown brings over 20 years of financial leadership in the technology sector, having held senior roles across some of the industry’s most influential firms. Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer at Altair Engineering, where he was instrumental in delivering consistent double-digit software revenue growth and margin expansion. His efforts culminated in Altair’s $10.7 billion acquisition by Siemens, one of the largest technology deals of the year.

Before Altair, Brown held leadership positions at NortonLifeLock, Symantec, Blue Coat, Brocade, NETGEAR, and KPMG, specializing in strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, controllership, and operational excellence.

Leadership Endorsement

“Matt brings a proven track record of scaling global technology businesses, delivering operational efficiency, and driving shareholder value,” said Steve Vintz, Co-CEO of Tenable. “His strategic mindset, deep financial expertise, and collaborative leadership style make him the ideal partner to help Tenable accelerate growth and achieve our long-term vision.”

Brown himself expressed enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. “Tenable is in a prime position to lead the future of exposure management, and I couldn’t be more excited to join this remarkable team,” he said. “The opportunity to pair Tenable’s market leadership with bold financial strategy is incredibly energising, and I’m ready to help propel the company to its next chapter of growth.”
