Exabeam, a global leader in security intelligence and automation, has announced the appointment of Pete Harteveld as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The leadership transition follows the retirement of Chris O’Malley, who departs after three years of dedicated service at Exabeam and a distinguished career spanning over three decades in executive leadership.
This transition marks a period of sustained strength and progress for Exabeam. The company has reported impressive financial results over the past two quarters, achieving both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year double-digit growth in bookings. These results highlight the effectiveness of its business strategy and the growing market adoption of its solutions.

With his deep understanding of Exabeam’s operations and market position, Harteveld is well-positioned to guide the company through its next phase of expansion and innovation in AI-powered security operations.
“After three years leading Exabeam, my decision to retire is a very personal one,” said Chris O’Malley, outgoing CEO. “With two of the strongest quarters in our company’s history behind us, I feel confident that now is the right time for this transition. Exabeam is in a strong position, and Pete is the ideal leader to steer it into the future.”
