Semperis appointed Throughput Optimization Module (TOM) Linckens to its Strategic Advisory Board to support the next phase of growth in the DACH and EMEA regions and to advance the company’s work on cyber resilience.

Linckens previously served as CIO of Bertelsmann and Henkel, where he oversaw hundreds of business units and more than 100,000 employees worldwide. Beginning in 2019 he served as an advisor to multiple companies, helping tighten organizational structures and explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be applied to business challenges. Semperis is privately held and is headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey; it serves customers in more than 40 countries and more than 1,000 organizations rely on the company.

Semperis described itself as an identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis management company purpose-built for multi-cloud and hybrid identity environments, including Active Directory, Entra ID and Okta. Its AI-powered platform combined defense along the identity lifecycle with crisis management to strengthen identity infrastructure, detect and mitigate active threats, enable fast, trusted recovery, and support secure out-of-band coordination when core systems were disrupted, and it was supported by an identity forensics and incident response team.

The advisory role covered efforts to strengthen hybrid identity threat detection, response and recovery capabilities with a focus on the DACH and EMEA regions. The scope included work on hybrid identity systems such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping, and involved brokering conversations with enterprises facing persistent threats. Linckens joined an advisory board that included General (Ret.) David Petraeus, former CIA Director; Chris Inglis, the first U.S. National Cyber Director; Malcolm Turnbull, former Australian Prime Minister; Simon Hodgkinson, former bp CISO; and Todd Greene, Advocate Health CISO.

“Tom is a proven leader and cyber resilience advocate. He will play a vital role in the coming months in brokering conversations with enterprises facing a constant and persistent threat to their hybrid identity systems. We all look forward to working closely with him to help organizations increase their cyber resilience, an essential step in maintaining business continuity across their networks,” said Mickey Bresman, CEO of Semperis.

Linckens will support Semperis' work to strengthen hybrid identity detection, response and recovery in the DACH and EMEA regions.
