IGEL announced the appointment of James Millington as Field CTO for Healthcare in EMEA. The move expands IGEL’s CTO bench and strengthens its healthcare leadership across the region.
IGEL is a global software company delivering the Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform for modern digital workspaces and secure access. In his new role, Millington will work with healthcare customers, field teams, and partners across EMEA to drive adoption of IGEL’s immutable endpoint platform in clinical and care delivery environments.
Millington’s appointment complements the work of Jason Mafera, who leads IGEL’s healthcare Field CTO efforts in North America. This gives IGEL dedicated healthcare Field CTO leadership across both EMEA and North America.
Millington brings extensive experience working with healthcare providers globally. He previously held leadership roles at Armis, VMware, Imprivata, and Citrix.
Before taking on the Field CTO role, Millington spent nearly three years leading Product Marketing at IGEL. In that position, he helped shape the company’s market positioning and platform narrative alongside CEO Klaus Oestermann.
IGEL said the appointment reflects its continued focus on healthcare as a strategic vertical. Through the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform, the company helps healthcare organizations support secure clinician access, simplify endpoint management, and improve resilience across distributed care environments.
In his new role, Millington will also focus on deepening IGEL’s partner ecosystem across EMEA. He will help healthcare organizations align IGEL within broader secure access, resilience, business continuity, and disaster recovery strategies.
IGEL’s platform includes its secure endpoint OS, Universal Management Suite, and IGEL App Portal. The company supports a preventative security model designed to help organizations strengthen security, improve resilience, and centrally govern endpoint access across distributed environments.
KEY QUOTES:
“Healthcare organizations across EMEA are increasingly seeking modern, resilient, and secure endpoint strategies that enable better patient care while reducing operational risk. James brings the healthcare expertise, strategic insight, and customer focus needed to help organizations navigate this transformation. His appointment reinforces IGEL’s commitment to the healthcare sector and our mission to deliver a more secure and resilient digital healthcare experience through our Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform, preventative security approach, and business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.

Matthias Haas, Managing Director and CTO of IGEL
“Healthcare is entering a defining period of innovation across EMEA. Providers must find new ways to lower operational costs, improve care quality, support digital and virtual care models, and bring services closer to patients — all while defending clinical environments against an increasingly complex cybersecurity threat landscape. IGEL has a unique role to play in that transformation. With IGEL, healthcare organizations can establish an immutable, secure-by-design endpoint foundation that helps protect access to critical systems, strengthen resilience, and reduce complexity at scale. I’m excited to help customers and partners across EMEA apply that approach to the realities of modern care delivery.”
James Millington, Field CTO for Healthcare EMEA at IGEL
