Tony Thompson

Chief Marketing Officer at Swimlane

Tony Thompson brings more than 20 years of dynamic marketing leadership to Swimlane, having elevated cybersecurity and IT networking technology brands, defining new markets, and breaking through the noise in crowded markets. Prior to joining Swimlane, Tony was Chief Marketing Officer for Kemp Technologies, where he successfully transformed the company from niche load balancing/application delivery into the now rapidly growing category of “Application Experience (AX).” Kemp was acquired by Mill Point Capital, and under Tony’s leadership, the company saw brand awareness increase with nearly 50% new user acquisition growth while also achieving the #1 rating on Gartner.

Previously, Tony served as vice president of marketing and general manager for SS8 Networks (acquired by HighBar Partners), where he led the strategy, sales, and marketing execution for a breakthrough in network intelligence, breach detection, and network detection response (NDR). Prior to SS8, Tony was vice president of marketing for Silver Peak, where he reshaped the company from a niche player into a leader in WAN optimization, and ultimately the pioneer of the now burgeoning SD-WAN market. Silver Peak was recently acquired by HPE.
