BlueVoyant has announced the appointment of John Hernandez as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding co-founder James Rosenthal. The leadership transition marks a strategic step as the company accelerates its focus on building a unified, AI-driven cybersecurity platform and expanding its global footprint.
Rosenthal, who has led the company since its inception in 2017, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, supporting long-term strategy and governance. The transition also sees Tom Glocer move into the role of Vice-Chairman.
“I am excited to guide BlueVoyant into its next phase, especially as AI continues to increase the complexity of cyber threats,” said John Hernandez, Chief Executive Officer, BlueVoyant.

He has also held leadership roles at Genesys, Salesforce, IBM, and Cisco.
“It has been an honour to lead such an innovative organisation from its inception,” said James Rosenthal, Chairman and Co-founder, BlueVoyant.
Under his leadership, BlueVoyant aims to transition enterprises from reactive cybersecurity models to proactive resilience. The company plans to enhance its AI-driven platform by integrating advanced analytics with human expertise to deliver real-time threat detection, prevention, and response.
“John’s experience scaling enterprise platforms and driving innovation makes him the right leader for our next phase of growth,” said Tom Glocer, Vice-Chairman, BlueVoyant.
Serving more than 1,000 clients across 45 countries and processing millions of security alerts daily, BlueVoyant offers Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), and Digital Risk Protection (DRP).
