Coro Appoints Channel Veteran Joe Sykora as New CEO

Coro Security, a Chicago-based company specializing in cybersecurity for small and midsize businesses, has announced the appointment of Joe Sykora, a recognized leader in the cybersecurity channel ecosystem, as Chief Executive Officer.

Sykora succeeds co-founder Guy Moskowitz, who has led the company for more than a decade. Moskowitz will assume the role of President and will be actively involved in the company’s global expansion and strategic initiatives.

Sykora brings extensive experience across the global cybersecurity channel, having held top leadership roles at Proofpoint, Bitdefender, and Fortinet. Since joining Coro earlier this year as SVP and GM of the Americas and ANZ, he has successfully aligned go-to-market operations across regions.

“I’m honored to step into the CEO role and grateful to the Board for their confidence in me,” said Sykora. “I also want to thank Guy for his visionary leadership and for building such a strong foundation over more than a decade. The energy and trajectory inside Coro are truly exceptional. I look forward to working closely with our customers, partners, and the entire team at Coro to accelerate our next chapter of hypergrowth.”

After establishing a firm footing in purpose-built cybersecurity for the SMB market, the company is expanding globally with a newly opened London office, a growing EMEA presence, and recent entry into the ANZ market.

“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to lead Coro as a CEO and co-founder during the last decade, growing it from a small startup into a global company,” said Guy Moskowitz. “With our momentum rapidly building and global opportunities ahead, it was the right time to hand the reins to Joe. When I recruited Joe earlier this year, it was clear he’s a proven leader, a channel champion, and exactly the right person to lead Coro into our next phase of expansion. His appointment as CEO reinforces our unwavering commitment to a 100% channel-first strategy.”
