Defentry, the Nordic cyber safety company, continues its growth journey and international expansion by welcoming two new members to its Board of Directors and appointing a new Chief Technology Officer. These strategic additions further position Defentry at the forefront of the B2B SaaS cybersecurity market.
Joining the board are Antonio Gozzo, seasoned angel investor and founder of Wicked Angel, and Markus Kaber, an experienced leader with a strong track record in digital transformation and scaling SaaS businesses. At the same time, Oliver Bredenberg steps in as Chief Technology Officer to lead Defentry’s technical strategy and product innovation.
With over 25 years of experience in corporate finance and executive leadership roles across diverse industries, Antonio brings deep expertise in driving growth, transformation, and operational excellence.
“Wicked Angel has been a proud investor in Defentry since 2021, and the future has never looked brighter. I’m enthusiastic about deepening my involvement in board activities and providing even stronger support to the management team as we move forward,” says Antonio Gozzo, new Board Member at Defentry.
Markus has extensive experience in scaling SaaS businesses internationally, with a proven ability to build strong commercial strategies and sustainable growth models. His addition strengthens Defentry’s international expansion and long-term growth ambitions.
“I look forward to contributing to Defentry’s continued growth journey. During my time as CEO of Specops, I led the company’s international expansion and took part in the acquisition by Monterro – experiences I now bring to Defentry. Cybersecurity is a rapidly evolving field, and Defentry has both the products and the ambition needed to take a leading global position,” says Markus Kaber, new Board Member at Defentry.
Oliver brings a unique mix of startup agility and enterprise experience to Defentry.
“I wanted to join Defentry because it gives me the best of two worlds. It is an established company with large customers, yet it has kept the startup spirit: fast decisions, colleagues who take ownership, and a high delivery pace. This means I can drive a long-term technical strategy while still seeing quick, concrete results. After many years working with GDPR, ISO 27001, and other security matters, I look forward to getting closer to the end-user and contributing to creating new products that make a real difference,” says Oliver Bredenberg, new CTO at Defentry.
The appointments come as Defentry continues its international growth. In 2025, the company expanded with several new enterprise contracts, launched its first AI-based product Private ID, and introduced a reseller solution enabling partners to scale faster without additional infrastructure investments.
“Adding Antonio, Markus, and Oliver to our leadership structure strengthens both our governance and our innovation capacity at a time when demand for our solutions is accelerating. Together, we are building the most innovative SaaS platform in cybersecurity and continuing our mission to protect millions of users globally. At the same time, we will continue developing new features and accelerating our AI initiatives to create even greater value for our customers and end-users,” says Defentry CEO Farid Lalami.
