SANTIAGO, CHILE--(Marketwire - November 20, 2008) - Trustwave, the leading provider of
on-demand data security and payment card industry compliance management
solutions to businesses and organizations throughout the world, announces
the appointment of Hermes Romero to manager of business development for
Trustwave Latin America.
Romero has more than 13 years of experience in the information security and
networking industry, specifically in South America. Romero spent three
years at IBM ISS, most recently as business development manager for Chile,
Peru and Bolivia. Previously, Romero worked at Unisys Corporation serving
in multiple roles ranging from engineering to regional sales manager for
Chile and Colombia.
At Trustwave, Romero will be responsible for the firm's business
development activity throughout Spanish-speaking South America, including
new business opportunities and channel and alliance partnerships. His
comprehension of data security will enable him to garner new business,
growing Trustwave in the Latin American market, and in turn, helping
business partners understand the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) and the steps necessary to validate and maintain
compliance. The appointment of Romero also expands Trustwave's local
presence to include Chile, in addition to its South American headquarters
in Brazil.
"Hermes' in-depth knowledge and extensive industry experience will augment
our efforts as we expand our operations in South America," says Robert J.
McCullen, chairman and CEO of Trustwave. "As adoption of the PCI DSS and
other regulations continue in this region, Trustwave has the technology and
expertise to help organizations validate their compliance and secure their
critical business assets."
"Trustwave's expansion into South America during these past 18 months has
been well received," says Jarrett Benavidez, director of Latin America for
Trustwave. "As we continue to attract knowledgeable, industry experts to
complement our current team, I believe our local presence will help our
growth in this dynamic market."
