Appointment strengthens Sectigo’s global growth strategy as enterprises prepare for shorter certificate lifecycles and begin the shift toward PQC

Sectigo, a global leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and digital certificates, today announced the appointment of Clint Maddox as President, Global Field Operations. In this role, Maddox will lead Sectigo’s global revenue and go-to-market organization—spanning sales, marketing, and channel operations—further accelerating the company’s growth and expanding its worldwide footprint.

Maddox joins at a pivotal moment. Following a record-breaking year, Sectigo is capitalizing on surging demand for automated CLM driven by rapidly shortening certificate lifespans and the industry’s transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

“Digital trust is entering a new era, one defined by automation and the rise of post‑quantum cryptography,” said Kevin Weiss, CEO at Sectigo. “The pace of change is accelerating, and organizations need partners who can see around corners and execute at scale. Sectigo is building for that future. We’ve delivered the strongest year in our history, expanded globally, and advanced automated CLM in ways that are fundamentally reshaping how enterprises manage certificates, identity, and cryptography. Clint’s experience transforming and scaling global revenue organizations will help us move even faster—unlocking new opportunities for our customers and strengthening the digital trust foundation the next decade will depend on.”

• Doubling its enterprise channel and partner business (100% YoY growth) and launching Sectigo Certificates as a Service (CaaS), transforming how partners manage and monetize digital certificates
