Ana Pires
Founder & VP of Sales
Ana Pires brings over 25 years driving consultative sales for medium and large companies across LATAM, Brazil, and EMEA, with Top Performer, Top Revenue, and Top Solutions awards across roles at Dell, TrendAI, Accenture, where she drove partner growth for Google Cloud, and SCYTHE.
Across those roles one pattern kept repeating: companies scaling fast rarely know where their security gaps actually are, until it becomes an incident. That gap is why she founded CROSS-INTEL.
She leads commercial strategy at CROSS-INTEL, which operates as a full Cybersecurity as a Service partner: penetration testing, threat intelligence, SOC on demand, vCISO, and cloud access management, helping companies close security gaps before they become incidents.

Adversarial Exposure Validation: Testing Controls Under Real Attack Conditions
Organizations spend heavily on security controls. Most have never tested whether those controls actually stop a determined attacker. AEV answers that question.
The Future of Zero Trust Architecture
Zero trust has moved from framework to operational standard. Organizations that treat it as a project are falling behind those that treat it as a posture.
Malware Analysis: How Security Teams Dissect Modern Threats
Modern malware is engineered to survive scrutiny. It detects sandboxes, delays execution, encrypts communications, and deletes itself on demand.
