SEATTLE – July 15, 2025 – WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader in unified cybersecurity, today announced the appointment of Frédéric Saint-Joigny as Vice President of EMEA Sales. Reporting to Chief Revenue Officer HoJin Kim, Frédéric will lead the company’s regional sales strategy, with a focus on helping partners capture new market opportunities, expand their cybersecurity offerings, and drive the next phase of growth across the region.
