Floyd joined the executive management team at SafeNet July 1, assuming a position that had been vacant since October of 2006.
"Mark brings more than 30 years of executive leadership to our company, with experience that complements our management team and company goals superbly. His successes range from founding his own company to running multi-billion dollar technology organizations to public offerings," said Chris Fedde, President and COO, SafeNet. "This is a true case of adding strength to strength, with Mark's expertise and understanding of growing business building on SafeNet's position in the information security market. This is the combination that will meet our strategic goals for SafeNet's future."
Previously, Floyd served as CEO of Entrisphere, a communications equipment provider, which was successfully sold to Ericsson in 2007. Prior to that, Floyd was the founder and CEO of Efficient Networks, a telecommunications equipment company specializing in Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), which he took public and later sold to Siemens for $1.7 billion. Most recently, Floyd was a Partner with El Dorado Ventures. He currently serves as the Chairman of Tekelec and is also on the Board of Riverbed Technology and Cyan Optics.
Floyd said, "What really attracted me to SafeNet was the unique combination of scale and intellectual property advantage along with an extremely talented management team and employee base. The company is truly a provider of a dynamic sector, selling the most important products to the most security conscious commercial and government customers in the world. With that platform, I think we can do incredible things to drive and grow this business and I feel very fortunate to be part of the team to lead this effort."
