SentinelOne has appointed Girard Moussa as Area Vice President (AVP) of Sales for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) region. In this role, Moussa will oversee the company’s regional sales strategy, facilitating growth across enterprise and public sector markets along with the adoption of the Singularity Platform.
With over 25 years of experience in the field of technology, including over two decades in the META region, Moussa will expand SentinelOne’s growth in key markets. His responsibilities also include increasing customer and partner engagement, creating high-performance teams, and actioning go-to-market strategies aligned with regional priorities. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the American University of Beirut.
“Companies are facing a fast transformation, with AI and cloud reshaping their processes and scale,” said Girard Moussa, Area Vice President, META, SentinelOne. “SentinelOne is at the forefront of change in cybersecurity, where autonomous, AI-based capabilities are needed to keep up with the speed and complexity of modern threats. I look forward to collaborating with our teams, customers, and partners to support this transition, expand our regional footprint, and deliver measurable outcomes at scale.”
Moussa held senior leadership positions at Microsoft, Google Cloud, SAP, Cisco, and Splunk. Recently, he was the Senior Sales Director at Microsoft UAE, where he led interactions across the public sector and higher education institutions. Earlier, he led Microsoft’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Group for the MEA region, setting the practice and the company as a trusted advisor to CXOs across the region. He also played a key role in launching and growing Splunk’s regional presence, with significant growth and market expansion.
SentinelOne is broadening its presence within META to support businesses facing the complex threat landscape by adopting generative AI and cloud technologies. The company is focused on advancing the use of its AI-based Singularity Platform, which provides autonomous, machine-speed protection against modern threats. Additionally, it is strengthening the capacity to support secure AI adoption, including protections against manipulation of models, leakage of data and prompt injection.
“Girard’s appointment comes at a defining moment for our region. As AI accelerates both innovation and threat sophistication, organisations can no longer rely on traditional security models. The shift toward autonomous, AI-driven security is not optional – it’s inevitable,” says Ezzeldin Hussein, Regional Senior Director, Solution Engineering, META at SentinelOne. “Girard brings the leadership, regional depth, and execution mindset needed to help our customers navigate this transformation with confidence. Together, we are not just scaling our presence in META; we are reshaping how security is delivered, moving from reactive defense to real-time, intelligent resilience.”
