FREMONT, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Exclusive Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity, announces it has added renowned IT veteran Justin Crotty to strengthen the organization’s services business in the channel. Exclusive Networks spearheaded this expansion of services with the full acquisition of Cloudrise in late 2024, part of an overall strategy to enhance this cybersecurity orchestrator’s value proposition in North America. Crotty will hold two roles, as both Vice President, Services for Exclusive Networks North America; and as General Manager of Cloudrise. Crotty’s addition marks a significant milestone in Exclusive’s strategy to expand its offerings, complementing other recent pushes to increase its services portfolio.

As a former channel executive at NetEnrich, Inc., Crotty has cultivated extensive relationships with industry-leading service providers. His skillset and experience are extensive, including SaaS platforms, channel marketing, distribution, cloud services, partner enablement, enterprise solutions and IT operations.
