Woburn, MA – January 17, 2018 – Alexander Moiseev has been appointed as the Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Kaspersky Lab, stepping up from his previous Chief Sales Officer role. The newly created position will have Moiseev lead sales and marketing globally, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer, Eugene Kaspersky.

Mr. Kaspersky said the creation of the CBO role, which adds to Moiseev’s existing responsibilities, is a strategic, important step for the company as it seeks to strengthen its position in established markets and build on recent growth in fledgling markets.

I’m sure that in his new role he will remain one of the main driving forces of the company’s commercial success. I wish him the best of luck.”

“Kaspersky Lab is a remarkable company. Year on year, we continue to develop world-leading cybersecurity technologies and intelligent solutions to fuel our innovative and fast-growing products and services portfolios. The chance to further grow our business and reward the intelligence and hard work of our research and development teams is what excites me most about this role,” said Alexander Moiseev. “As a 20-year-old, respected industry veteran, with an insatiable thirst for innovation, Kaspersky Lab is ideally placed to meet the fast-growing cybersecurity demands of businesses, governments and individuals alike – now and into the future.”
