Chris Hill Named Horizon3 Federal & Public Sector Head

Chris Hill, a 25-year information technology industry executive, has been appointed as head of the federal and public sector at cybersecurity company Horizon3.ai.

He will be responsible for implementing the firm’s strategy to help government customers manage the cyber posture at their organizations with the use of a software-as-a-service platform, Horizon3 said Monday.
