Tenable Appoints Steve Vintz and Mark Thurmond as Co-CEOs

Tenable®, an exposure management company, has appointed Steve Vintz and Mark Thurmond as co-Chief Executive Officers permanently. The decision follows an extensive search process, considering both internal and external candidates. Vintz, who has been Tenable’s Chief Financial Officer since 2014, will oversee product, cybersecurity, corporate development, and all general and administrative functions, while Thurmond will oversee GTM functions including sales, professional services, technical support, marketing, and customer success. The board plans to appoint Vintz and Thurmond to the board immediately following the company’s annual shareholder meeting on May 14, 2025.

“Mark and Steve have demonstrated exceptional leadership and alignment during their time as interim co-CEOs,” said Art Coviello, Chairman of the Tenable Board of Directors. “Their collaborative leadership style, deep industry knowledge, and customer-first mindset have already created strong results. We are confident in their ability to continue driving innovation and long-term value for all stakeholders.”

Under their interim leadership, Tenable has expanded its customer footprint, with strong adoption of the Tenable One Exposure Management platform and growing momentum behind Tenable Cloud Security.  They also completed the strategic acquisition of Vulcan Cyber, advancing Tenable’s product roadmap with the expected launch of a significantly expanded version of Tenable One that we believe will be the most comprehensive exposure management platform on the market.

“We are honored to lead Tenable as co-CEOs and energized by the opportunity ahead,” said Vintz and Thurmond in a joint statement. “We have tremendous belief in Tenable’s mission, team, and market position, and we’re excited to build on our momentum to deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers, employees, and shareholders.”

Coviello, a respected cybersecurity leader, will remain Chairman of the Board. Additionally, Steve Vintz will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer, while the company conducts a CFO search.
