VISO TRUST, an AI-powered company specializing in third- to nth-party risk management (TPRM), has announced a leadership transition, naming Corentin Le Reun as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Co-Founder and former CEO Paul Valente will transition to the role of Chief Customer Officer. This strategic move aims to strengthen the company’s focus on customer relationships, product strategy, and engagement with the global CISO community. Valente stated, “This role lets me return to the roots that have made our company successful – working directly with CISOs as a fellow CISO, learning from them, and ensuring our product solves the real, everyday challenges they face.” He added, “Corentin has shown exceptional leadership and care for our customers and our people. He’s the right CEO for this next chapter, and I’m excited to partner with him to continue scaling VISO TRUST’s impact.” Enrique Salem, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, which led VISO TRUST’s Series A, commented on the transition, stating, “This is the right move at the right time for VISO TRUST as the team accelerates.”
Prior to his appointment as CEO, Le Reun served as Vice President of Sales & Customer Success at VISO TRUST. In this role, he refined the company’s commercial strategy, enhanced the customer experience, and accelerated market adoption across security, compliance, and procurement teams. Russ Sherman, CTO & Co-Founder, noted, “From the moment Corentin joined VISO TRUST, he started to elevate every aspect of the company. His focus, discipline, and care for the mission have already made a meaningful impact. I’m confident that his leadership will accelerate our innovation and scale our vision in ways every founder hopes for.”
Le Reun stated, “I am honored to lead VISO TRUST at a pivotal moment for our industry. Our mission to deliver near-instant, accurate insight into third- and fourth-party risk has never been more essential. My focus is simple: execute with excellence, put customers first, and stay true to the principles that define our very special culture.” His leadership philosophy is based on seven principles: strive for excellence, care deeply, think customer first, always be prepared, pursue personal growth, enjoy the journey, and take care of yourself and others.
Before joining VISO TRUST, Le Reun spent over a decade at Cisco, where he led global cybersecurity sales teams across major verticals. During his tenure, he achieved consistent double- and triple-digit growth in both Europe and the United States, co-developed new sales methodologies, and built high-performing organizations. Kelley Mak, General Partner at Work-Bench, an investor in VISO TRUST, commented, “VISO TRUST is a category-defining company operating at the intersection of AI, security, and enterprise risk – one of the most consequential problem spaces for enterprises. Corentin is a proven leader whose customer-first mindset, operational rigor, and ability to scale go-to-market functions position him well to guide VISO TRUST into its next phase of growth.”
