Gabe Deale

Worldwide VP of Sales Engineering

Cylance

Gabe joined Cylance in 2014, where he’s rapidly expanded the worldwide sales engineering team. Prior to Cylance, Gabe spent over 14 years in the channel and developing startups. He’s held consulting, sales engineering, SE leadership and consulting leadership roles. Within many of these organizations, he established the role and was the first to serve in it. He was one of the first 20 employees at Accuvant (now Optiv Security), a multi-billion dollar security consulting firm. The channel provided a unique vantage point from which to watch the industry evolve. As early machine-learning technologies grew out of big-data challenges, he realized it was the advent of a paradigm shift. He believes it is the only hope for the security industry, as it is the only technology capable of processing huge amounts of data and learning from it to make better autonomous decisions. This technology, combined with the opportunity to work with trailblazers willing to embrace it, drew him to his current role.
