Business ContextGrowing in one of Europe’s most important cyber security markets

Recorded Future is a global leader in cyber threat intelligence, helping organisations identify and respond to cyber risk through AI-driven intelligence and analytics.

Germany has become one of the most important cyber security markets in Europe, driven by increasing regulation, rising geopolitical risk and growing investment in cyber resilience. As customer demand accelerated, Recorded Future invested in strengthening its local team to support long-term growth.

Who made this happen?

The Growth ChallengeWinning talent in a relationship-driven market

Germany is one of Europe’s most established cyber security markets, making experienced commercial talent exceptionally difficult to attract.

Success depended on finding leaders with deep technical credibility, established customer relationships and a strong understanding of the local market. Alongside enterprise sales professionals, Recorded Future also needed legal and pre-sales expertise to support an expanding customer base.

Technical expertise alone wasn't enough. Success depended on credibility within the German cyber security market.

Our ApproachBuilding on specialist market knowledge and an established partnership

Having previously partnered with Recorded Future and supported several leading cyber security businesses, Wenham Carter understood both the market and the talent landscape.

The programme began with the appointment of German-speaking legal counsel before expanding into enterprise sales and pre-sales leadership. Drawing on our established network across the DACH cyber security market, we identified leaders with the technical expertise, commercial capability and local relationships needed to support the company’s continued growth.

Business OutcomeStrengthening the team behind Germany's continued growth

The appointments strengthened Recorded Future’s commercial and customer-facing capability in one of its fastest-growing European markets.

With experienced leaders in place across legal, sales and pre-sales, the business was well positioned to deepen customer relationships, support continued growth in Germany and build on its wider European expansion. The success of the programme has led to an ongoing partnership as Recorded Future continues to invest across the region.

The appointments strengthened Recorded Future's commercial capability at an important stage of its European growth.
