Background

Delinea — SE Manager, 2025–present
Delinea — Enterprise SE, 2022–2025
CyberArk — Enterprise SE, 2020–2022
Quest Software — 2× President's Club, 2016–2020

Bruce operates as a player-coach — actively engaged in his SEs' territories, jumping into strategic deals, running discovery, and closing alongside the team when it matters. He doesn't manage from a distance. He knows the product, the competition, and the customer conversation at a level that lets him add value in the room, not just in the review.

Beyond his own team, he's delivered enablement across the full commercial SE organization — including a curriculum on API fundamentals, SDK setup, and how to demo and articulate API-based use cases in a PAM context. That kind of cross-team contribution is a pattern: he builds things that outlast the moment.

In FY25, his first full year managing a team, he drove 109% of team quota, earning President's Club for the fourth time. His top two SEs hit 137% and 140%. He travels wherever the deal requires.
