provider of federated search for security.
Query, the federated search solution for security teams, today announced the addition of Tammi Hayes, President and Founder of Capital Strategies Group LLC, to the Query Advisory Board. As a member of the Advisory Board, Hayes will contribute in all facets of the company’s go-to-market efforts.
“Query is one of the most innovative and disruptive technologies in cyber security today,” says Hayes. “Query is not just another security tool. They are solving the data security challenges faced by so many enterprises by providing full visibility without having to centralize the data.” “In this challenging market, the Query platform provides cost savings, as well as better efficiencies and productivity, by accessing data from all sources with a single search,” she continues. “I am thrilled to be working with the incredible Query team of security veterans and visionary leaders.”
In 2022, Ms. Hayes was honored as Cyber Security Woman of the Year and Cyber Security Consultant of the Year by the Cybersecurity Excellence Group. A member of the Executive Women in Security Forum, she has over two decades of experience in the technology sector, with a robust background in investment banking, venture funding, business development, and strategic consulting. She has worked with a diverse range of clients, from private equity, venture capital, and tech startups to leading security technology providers.
Earlier in her career, Hayes was a principal at Good Harbor Consulting, a Washington, D.C.-based strategic firm, where she focused on the rapidly evolving sectors of homeland security, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and counterterrorism. She also founded and managed a boutique private equity fund, Futuris Capital, in collaboration with top Wall Street bankers, aimed at providing capital for early stage tech companies. She also served on the Board of Good Harbor Partners, a SPAC focused on security-related acquisitions, and was a Director at RSA Security, where she successfully led the early consumer business line.
“Tammi delivers a rare blend of strategic thinking with decades of security industry experience and relationships,” said Matt Eberhart. “Getting to know Tammi, it became clear she only works with teams she believes can solve the biggest security challenges in innovative ways. She isn’t interested in incremental improvements. She helps security teams find and get value from the most promising emerging security solutions. I’m grateful that she is joining our board of advisors.”
