LONDON, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zimbra, the leading open-source email and collaboration platform, today announced the appointment of Anthony Chadd as Chief Revenue Officer. Chadd brings over 15 years of driving growth in cybersecurity and SaaS, most recently serving as CRO at Vercara, where he implemented a global channel partner program that scaled the business to high growth.  In his new role, Anthony will oversee Zimbra's global revenue operations, including sales, partnerships, marketing, and customer success, as the company continues expanding its secure collaboration solutions to enterprises, governments, and service providers worldwide.

"His expertise in building partner ecosystems and enterprise GTM strategies will be instrumental as we serve the growing demand for data-sovereign email solutions."  Chadd previously held senior leadership positions at Neustar, where he managed global sales and developed scalable revenue operations across account management, sales engineering, and enablement. His experience spans infrastructure security, DNS management, and building channel programs that drive enterprise growth.  "Zimbra's commitment to open standards, data sovereignty, and security resonates strongly with enterprises navigating today's threat landscape," said Chadd. "I'm excited to join a mission-driven team and help organizations worldwide achieve secure, flexible collaboration on their terms."  Zimbra powers hundreds of millions of mailboxes across 127+ countries through its network of service providers and channel partners, offering deployment options including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid solutions.
