Based in the United Kingdom, Corbett will have oversight of the Imperva business across Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa. Imperva also announced that its former Regional Vice President of EMEA, Dave Woodcock, has stepped into the same role in Asia-Pacific, where he will drive the Imperva business in that region from the company`s Singapore office.

As VP and General Manager for HP Software in the UK and Ireland, he was responsible for the transformation and successful return to growth for this business. Prior to joining HP, Alastair has held significant roles with Peregrine Software, Hypercom International, AvantGo and Sterling Software.
Dave Woodcock joined Imperva in May 2013 as Vice President of EMEA Sales, where he grew the business significantly, and was instrumental in closing strategic deals at Lloyds Banking Group, Vodafone, Swedbank and Credit Suisse before moving to Singapore. Prior to Imperva, Dave was with Crossbeam Systems Inc., where he started in 2007 as Vice President, EMEA, and then in 2011 became Vice President for EMEA and APAC.
