AccessIT Group's First Chief Growth Officer Puts Sales and Marketing Under One Leader

What happened

AccessIT Group, a cybersecurity solutions and services provider, announced on November 5, 2026 that it has hired Josh Locker as its first chief growth officer. The new role brings the company's go-to-market functions, including sales, marketing and partnerships, under a single leader charged with driving its next phase of growth.

Locker has 32 years in technology, 16 of them running sales and go-to-market teams in cybersecurity. He was most recently chief revenue officer at Cyderes, overseeing sales, pre-sales, sales operations and channel alliances, and before that spent 12 years helping scale Optiv Security. Combining marketing with sales and partnerships under one executive for the first time suggests the company may revisit its positioning, demand generation and partner marketing.
