NTT Com Security has announced the appointment of Linda McCormack as its vice president of professional services.

McCormack has been brought in to help grow and develop the company's WideAngle professional services, with particular focus on the finance, retail and manufacturing sectors.

She joins the firm from Verizon where she held the positions of director of professional services EMEA, and head of communications practice and professional services.

McCormack said: "The security sector is rapidly growing and within this, NTT Com Security is going through a period of dynamic transformation and growth as we move our business to a managed and professional services footing.

"I am pleased to be joining the business at such an exciting time and look forward to having an immediate and tangible impact on how the company evolves."

Cunningham added: "Having Linda on board demonstrates our commitment to building out our professional services capabilities and portfolio.

"She will play a key role in helping NTT Com Security take its professional services offering to the next level, ensuring maximum added value for customers."
