Software supply chain management company Sonatype brought on Megan Lueders as its global chief marketing officer to lead the company through its next maturation phase.

With ties to the Open Source Software Foundation (OpenSSF), Sonatype has been a key member in global cybersecurity discussions in the US and EMEA, including advising on the most recent White House cybersecurity directives. Lueders’s role is critical to amplifying the company’s efforts, where she will pull on over 20 years of enterprise tech experience in senior marketing roles at startups and public companies alike. She also kind of a big deal in Austin: She’s on the BBA Advisory Board at The University of Texas, where she also teaches business classes. She spoke at McCombs Fall 2020 Commencement. She’s also an active supporter of Austin-area non-profits, where she chairs Texas 4000, Girlstart, and YMCA of Austin.
