Karen Letain
Chief Commercial Officer

Karen Letain is the Chief Commercial Officer at StrongestLayer, and she has one mission: to stop the threats that firewalls can't.

In a world where attackers are using Agentic AI to trick your smartest employees, Karen is the architect behind the defense. Before joining StrongestLayer to lead its global go-to-market strategy, she was the GVP/GM of Security Awareness at Proofpoint, where she fundamentally reshaped how the Fortune 500 trains its people to spot threats.

Her resume reads like a timeline of modern cybersecurity evolution. As the Head of Global Strategy & Innovation at McAfee (Consumer Division), she led the charge to move the industry beyond simple "Antivirus" and into holistic "Personal Protection." She has founded multiple startups, led massive M&A integrations, and holds a reputation for seeing the "next big threat" before it hits the headlines.

At StrongestLayer, Karen is leveraging that deep enterprise DNA to solve the "95% Problem"—the fact that nearly all breaches today start with a human error. She believes the future of security isn't just about better code; it's about empowered people armed with real-time AI intelligence.
