HackerOne, a pioneer in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), now announced two strategic executive appointments to accelerate the company’s next phase of growth and innovation in the rapidly expanding threat exposure management category.
Stephanie Furfaro joins as Chief Revenue Officer and Stacy Leidwinger as Chief Marketing Officer, bringing deep go-to-market expertise to scale HackerOne’s impact across enterprises worldwide. Together, they will strengthen execution across sales, customer success, partnerships, and marketing to help organizations stay ahead of an increasingly autonomous and AI-driven threat landscape.
Prior roles of Furfaro
Furfaro will lead all global revenue-generating functions, spanning sales, customer success, and partnerships, to accelerate growth and deliver greater value for customers worldwide. Leidwinger will oversee global marketing functions, including brand, product marketing, growth marketing, channel and field marketing, and sales development, unifying HackerOne’s storytelling and demand engine to support the company’s expanding market presence.
Furfaro brings more than 25 years of experience scaling high-growth software companies and transforming global go-to-market strategies. She is known for building enduring customer relationships and high-impact channel partnerships that drive measurable business outcomes.

Prior roles of Leidwinger
Leidwinger joins HackerOne with extensive experience leading cybersecurity marketing teams and scaling global software businesses. Most recently, she served as Chief Marketing Officer at Secureworks, where she oversaw all marketing and led the shift from a managed service provider to a software platform company.
In addition to her cybersecurity leadership, she brings deep industry expertise in large language models and AI, grounded in her work on IBM’s Big Data team. She brings a strong customer and partner focus, ensuring marketing sharpens value messaging and drives measurable performance across the demand engine.
AI-led cyber threats
“HackerOne is redefining how organizations stay secure in an increasingly autonomous, AI-driven threat landscape,” said Furfaro. “I’m excited to join a company that pairs deep human expertise with cutting-edge AI to deliver meaningful customer impact. Building on HackerOne’s strong partner ecosystem will be central to expanding our reach and empowering more organizations to proactively manage their risk.”
“HackerOne is entering a new stage of growth as AI-led cyber threats reshape the landscape,” said Leidwinger. “Security pioneers need to secure faster, prove risk reduction, and adapt to an increasingly autonomous threat environment. I’m energized to elevate HackerOne’s customer and partner value message and show why Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), paired with the unique combination of AI and human adversarial expertise, drives stronger results than anything else on the market today.”
Threat landscape and modern defense
“Stephanie and Stacy join HackerOne at a pivotal moment for our company and the cybersecurity industry,” said Kara Sprague, CEO of HackerOne.
“As AI reshapes the threat landscape and modern defense, Stephanie’s experience scaling global revenue organizations and Stacy’s leadership in brand and growth marketing will strengthen every part of our go-to-market engine. Together, they will accelerate growth by delivering our full Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) value proposition to more enterprise customers.”
HackerOne’s in-platform suite of AI agents
These new appointments follow a year of strong growth and product innovation for HackerOne. In October, HackerOne announced the evolution of Hai, its AI platform, from copilot into an agentic AI system, along with the general availability of HackerOne Code, its AI-native code security product.
With 90% of customers now leveraging Hai, HackerOne’s in-platform suite of AI agents, to accelerate vulnerability discovery and response, HackerOne is helping organizations stay ahead of threats. HackerOne bug bounty programs collectively paid out $81 million, a 13% increase from last year, underscoring the unmatched impact of its global researcher community. The company also launched its Technology Alliance Program to unite leading technology providers with its AI-powered platform.
