Quick Heal Technologies Limited has announced the appointment of Richard Stiennon as a Non-Executive Independent Director, marking a second term on the board starting September 27, 2026. The move, recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and subject to shareholders’ approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting, continues the company’s strategy of strengthening governance with seasoned independent voices at the table.
Stiennon brings more than three decades of experience in the global cybersecurity arena, where he is recognized as a leading analyst and thought leader. His career spans advisory and leadership roles with some of the industry’s most prominent players, including Symantec, McAfee, Cisco, Microsoft and Trend Micro. He has held senior leadership positions at Gartner, PwC, Webroot Software, Fortinet and Blancco Technology Group, and has advised executive teams and boards across the cybersecurity landscape. Notably, he contributed to due diligence for major M&A activity, including the acquisition of Trustwave by Singtel, and served on the Extreme Cyber Advisory Panel for Australia’s Commonwealth Bank.
The appointment underscores Quick Heal’s intent to bolster board-level oversight with an independent director who blends deep cybersecurity insight with broad strategic perspective. As technology risk and digital resilience rise in priority for the company and its stakeholders, Stiennon’s expertise is positioned to inform governance, risk management and strategic dialogue at the highest level.
While the formalities accompany a board appointment, the broader narrative is one of leadership continuity and governance strengthening. Quick Heal highlighted that the re-appointment will be subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, signaling a measured approach to governance aligned with long-term strategic goals.
