Centrify will have its third owner and fourth top executive in less than three years after the company agreed to be purchased by TPG and selected Art Gilliland as CEO.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based privileged access management vendor on Thursday tapped Gilliland, the former head of Symantec Enterprise and CEO of Skyport Systems, to be its next leader. The move comes just seven months after Centrify brought in top CollabNet executive Flint Brenton to serve as its president and CEO. Gilliland will take over once TPG closes its acquisition of Centrify from Thoma Bravo.
