Article content
Andrea Carcano has returned as CEO of Nozomi Networks, more than a decade after co-founding the industrial cybersecurity company alongside Moreno Carullo.
Calling it a new "Day 1," Andrea framed his return around the entrepreneurial mindset that shaped Nozomi Networks from its beginnings and the company's continued commitment to protecting the industrial world.
Returning to the Company's Day 1 Mindset
Reflecting on Nozomi Networks' early days, Andrea recalled how he and Moreno began with little more than an idea to protect industrial environments and the freedom to pursue that mission.
That mindset, he said, became more important than the technology itself in shaping the company's journey.
Andrea also recognized Edgard Capdevielle, who previously led Nozomi Networks, for taking the company further than its founders initially imagined and helping establish its position as a leader in the industrial cybersecurity market.
Partnership at the Center
Andrea's return also reflects his understanding of what customers value beyond technology.
He emphasized that customers choose Nozomi Networks for partnership, particularly as organizations navigate a period of rapid technological change driven by artificial intelligence.
As AI reshapes industrial environments and cybersecurity, Andrea sees an opportunity for Nozomi Networks to work alongside customers as a technology partner willing to innovate, take risks, and address emerging challenges together.
Leading the Next Chapter
Andrea's return as CEO marks a significant leadership transition for Nozomi Networks and brings one of its original founders back to the company at a pivotal moment for the cybersecurity industry.
His focus on maintaining a Day 1 mindset signals an ambition to preserve the company's entrepreneurial culture while continuing to innovate alongside its global customer base.
For Nozomi Networks, the next chapter will be defined not only by technological advancement, but by its ability to remain close to customers as industrial organizations navigate the AI era.
