VP of Software Development at ThreatLocker — leading engineering, DevSecOps, and security code review for a cybersecurity SaaS platform.
Thirty years turning early-stage software into systems that scale — eighteen as a founder, twelve leading architecture and quality at SOTAX Group, and the last four rebuilding how ThreatLocker's engineering org ships secure code at four times the headcount.
Marc has spent three decades building and leading software teams — from founding and running his own companies for eighteen years across Europe and South America, to leading product development and quality organizations across Switzerland and the US, to his current role scaling ThreatLocker's engineering organization.
Since April 2024 he has led ThreatLocker's software development organization, growing the team from 15 to over 60 engineers while building the processes needed to scale with it — automating and re-architecting the deployment pipeline, and introducing AI-assisted tooling into the quality process to catch issues earlier.
Before ThreatLocker, he ran product development and quality for SOTAX Group's lab equipment software for twelve years, owning system architecture, hiring, and stakeholder management across US and European business units. Earlier still, he founded and ran his own software companies for fourteen years, building traceability and automation software for automotive and medical device manufacturers.
As a recruiting partner during ThreatLocker's scale from 15 to 60+ engineers, Jamal saw Marc hire deliberately rather than just fill seats — building a team people actually wanted to join.
Having led Customer Support alongside him, Nick describes Marc as composed under pressure — treating urgent customer issues as commitments, not tickets, and bridging engineering with customer experience.
Martin worked alongside Marc at SOTAX and calls him the team's natural technical leader — hands-on with code, and generous with the kind of mentoring that gives engineers room to find their own solutions.
