These new hires will help Immersive Labs accelerate global revenue growth, drive customer acquisition and retention, and expand routes to market.

Previously, Johnson spent a decade with Sybase in multiple leadership roles culminating in his running of the global database and technology business.

"I am drawn to Immersive Labs' unique approach to cybersecurity – one that puts people, rather than tech stacks, at the heart of everything," Johnson said.

Julie Chapman is a seasoned customer experience executive who has led high-performing teams in the technology industry for more than 20 years. She has held leadership roles at IBM, Adobe, Marketo, and Interos.

James Hadley, Chief Executive Officer of Immersive Labs, said, "Eric and Julie join Immersive Labs at a pivotal time when organizations are increasingly focused on building cyber resilience across their teams and having the metrics to prove it. Their extensive experience makes them a perfect match for our go-to-market strategy, and they will serve as champions for our customers, helping them achieve their key business outcomes."

Immersive Labs recently announced $66 million in new capital and the appointments of Sandra McDevitt as Chief Human Resources Officer, and Lucian Lui as Chief Marketing Officer. The company was also named Gold Winner for Best Cybersecurity Company - North America and Cyber Skilling Product - North America by the Cyber Excellence Awards.
