Plume said it added two senior executives to its management team, naming Valerie Buckingham as chief marketing officer and Adrian Fitzgerald as chief revenue officer.

“Valerie and Adrian bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the executive team at Plume,” Fahri Diner, founder and CEO of Plume, said. “These senior-level appointments enhance Plume’s go-to-market strength as the company continues to scale and innovate for customers around the world.”

Buckingham had been with Palo Alto Network, Drop and Microsoft after a decade at Nokia.  

“Plume is leveraging data and AI to enable people across the world to live more connected lives while empowering them with the tools to provide privacy, security, and control over how they interact with technology,” Buckingham said. “This is an exciting time to be joining the team as we raise the global visibility of Plume and its game-changing consumer services for homes and small businesses. We have big plans for Plume.”

Fitzgerald was chief revenue officer at Sandvine and group VP, global sales, at Oracle Communications.

“Plume is taking the smart home and small business markets to the next level and the significant growth it has experienced over the past few years is testament to this,” Fitzgerald said. “As Plume continues to build a global presence, my team and I will ensure that we are primed to support the next phase of its expansion.”
