Tampa, FL – July 1, 2025 – Timus Networks, the channel-first cybersecurity vendor delivering cloud-native SASE and ZTNA solutions purpose-built for MSPs, today announced that co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer Ahmet Polat has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Polat succeeds Pinar Ormeci, who led the company through a defining period of product and partner growth.
Under Ormeci’s leadership, Timus evolved from an early-stage startup to a fast-scaling company in under three years. She played a pivotal role in building the go-to-market team, establishing an operational backbone, and positioning Timus as a rising challenger in the global SASE market. The Timus Team extends its sincere gratitude to Ormeci for her remarkable contributions.
“This transition marks more than just a leadership change,” said co-founder and Chairman M. Tuğrul Tekbulut. “It reflects our evolution as a company, built by and for technologists who understand what MSPs really need. Ahmet has championed our product vision from day one and is the ideal leader to take this vision forward. We thank Pinar for laying the foundation and look ahead with great confidence.”
Polat has driven Timus’s product vision since inception. A lifelong technologist who began programming at age 10, he co-founded Timus to challenge the complexity of traditional security models and deliver intelligent, secure networking that “just works” for MSPs.
“One of our first users told me, ‘This is the first security product I set up that didn’t make me want to punch the screen.’ That’s when I knew we were on the right track,” said Polat. “Our mission is not only to secure networks. It’s to make MSP operations smoother, more scalable, and ultimately more profitable. We will double down on empowering MSPs with a platform that delivers secure access, total control, and actionable insights, without the usual headaches of enterprise-grade security.”
As the architect behind Timus’s dynamic firewall, adaptive ZTNA engine, and frictionless user experience, Polat will focus on accelerating product innovation, deepening partner engagement, and widening the company’s global footprint. His leadership philosophy centers on humility, collaboration, continuous improvement, and an unwavering commitment to the channel community.
Looking ahead, Timus Networks will remain laser-focused on giving MSPs the edge in an ever-shifting threat landscape. Under Ahmet Polat’s leadership, the company will fast-track product breakthroughs, deepen ecosystem ties, and elevate partner success programs. Timus will continue investing in technologies that give MSPs sharper visibility, tighter control, and hands-free automation, without adding complexity. Driven by a clear vision and deep commitment to the channel, Timus is building the future of secure access, purpose-built for the day-to-day challenges MSPs and their clients face.
