OpSec Security, the global leader in physical and digital anti-counterfeiting and brand protection solutions, is announcing the appointment of David Butler as Senior Director of New Business Development.

David joins OpSec with a wealth of experience in the intellectual property and brand protection market, having held senior sales and business development roles at some of the industry’s most respected organizations, most recently with Corsearch and previous to that MarkMonitor, the leading brand and domain security business.

During the formative years of the online brand protection industry, David played an instrumental role in establishing MarkMonitor in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. In January 2020, the brand protection operations of the MarkMonitor business were acquired by OpSec into its Online Brand Protection business unit.
