Coro Promotes Benjamin Morrell to VP of Security Strategy
Coro, the leading cybersecurity platform for Lean IT-driven organizations, today announced the promotion of Benjamin Morrell to Vice President of Security Strategy. The appointment reflects Coro’s commitment to building a platform that protects organizations and equips them with the capabilities of a full security department, without requiring additional headcount.
Morrell brings experience across security technology, product strategy, and go-to-market leadership. At Coro, he has helped shape how the company brings its platform to market, building a deep understanding of how organizations evaluate, deploy, and operationalize cybersecurity solutions. Prior to Coro, he held cybersecurity leadership roles at NextGen and Anomali, where he worked across Sales, Marketing, and Product Management to translate threat intelligence and security capabilities into tangible customer value.
In his expanded role, Morrell will be responsible for securing Coro’s global enterprise while directly influencing the strategic direction of the company’s product portfolio. As “Customer Zero,” his team uses Coro’s own platform to protect the business, generating direct feedback that helps shape product development, usability, and security outcomes. His work spans compliance, incident response, zero trust architecture, and adversarial research, helping ensure Coro’s platform aligns with real-world practitioner needs.
A key focus of Morrell’s role will be guiding how Coro continues applying AI across its platform to extend the capabilities of Lean IT teams. By grounding product direction in real adversary behavior and day-to-day security operations, he will help Coro advance AI-driven protection that reduces operational burden while strengthening detection, response, and remediation.

“As Coro continues to scale, Ben’s leadership will play an important role in how we strengthen both our internal security posture and our product strategy,” said Joe Sykora, CEO of Coro. “He brings a rare combination of hands-on product knowledge, security expertise, and market understanding that will help us continue building a platform that meets the real needs of Lean IT teams.”
“I’ve spent years seeing firsthand how difficult it can be for organizations to close the gap between the security they need and the resources they have,” said Benjamin Morrell, VP of Security Strategy at Coro. “This role creates an opportunity to help close that gap from both sides by using our platform to protect the business and applying those insights to make Coro more resilient, intelligent, and effective for customers.”
