Jerry Jenkins, formerly of PayPal, is joining cyber risk consulting firm Edgile as chief human resources officer, where he will oversee all HR and talent activities for the company.

"From Day One, hiring the best and brightest people to solve our customer's complex security challenges has been at the core of Edgile's culture and business," Edgile CEO Don Elledge said. "Jerry's more than 20 years of progressive leadership experience heading world-class HR management and operations at leading Fortune 500 companies will be a valuable addition to Edgile's management team as we continue to expand our strategic security services and collaborative culture throughout the nation."

Jenkins worked with eBay in Global Talent Acquisition and contributed to the separation of eBay and PayPal. Following PayPal’s spinoff, Jenkins helped develop the company’s Global HR Operations department, which is recognized as a leading-class HR department.

"I am excited to join Edgile, a leading company providing opportunities for the best and brightest security professionals to thrive in an increasingly important industry," Jenkins said. "As the firm focuses on its next stage of growth, I am especially looking forward to working with Edgile's high-caliber professional team to put in place a scalable world-class HR organization that empowers people, and enables the company's exceptional capabilities, culture and customer-centric approach."
