After Strong Quarter, Radware Announces U.S. Expansion

Adds seasoned security leadership, dozens of new hires, new tech alliances; reinforces commitment to AI innovation

MAHWAH, N.J., May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, is executing an aggressive strategy to expand its market presence and accelerate growth across its cloud services business in the U.S. The company is making strategic new hires, adding tech alliances, and reinforcing its commitment to AI innovation. The announcement follows Radware’s report on its strong first quarter financial results.

“Increasing business opportunities have led us to fast track an aggressive U.S. growth plan,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware’s president and chief executive officer. “We are doubling down our efforts in the region. This includes strengthening our bench of security experts, bringing more technical support and cloud delivery services closer to our customer base, and stepping up our competitive game. Our new U.S. executives have built a revenue generation engine designed to win customers and increase market share.”

New U.S. leadership
Radware is investing in a new team of seasoned security leaders, charged with overseeing growth across the region. Radware’s new U.S executives include Constance (Connie) Stack, chief growth officer; Randy Wood, senior vice president of North American sales; and Joshua Bafalis, director of acquisition sales.

Stack joined Radware from NextDLP where she was CEO. During her 24-month tenure, she grew ARR by more than 300%, resulting in the company’s successful acquisition by Fortinet in August 2024. Wood previously served as senior vice president of North American sales at Akamai for five years, delivering consistent double-digit growth in application security during that time. Bafalis, formerly regional vice president of sales at Cloudflare, played a key role in scaling the Cloudflare channel and alliance business.

Expanding workforce
To accelerate growth, Radware has filled 30+ new positions in the U.S. across sales, marketing, cloud services, and customer support. The company has added account executive roles and cloud service engineers tasked with facilitating cloud delivery and a follow-the-sun service model.

New tech alliances
In April, Radware announced a collaboration with SUSE. The partnership brings together the industry’s only Kubernetes Web Application and API Protection (KWAAP) from Radware with SUSE Rancher Prime and SUSE Security. The unique combination provides a world-class solution for modern application developers who need to secure distributed Kubernetes workloads at scale.
