Cursor

Scaling fast

The read

Cursor posted +154 net headcount over 90 days, driven by aggressive sales hiring (112-person function, the largest) that absorbed talent from Zscaler (10 hires), Palo Alto Networks, and Snowflake. The company added two Field CTOs and senior regional VPs covering ASEAN and public sector, signaling a push into complex enterprise and government accounts. Departures included an APJ solutions VP and a strategic sales director, with some campus and operations roles exiting to IBM and U.S. Bank, but the inbound flow from major security and data platforms suggests Cursor is moving upmarket fast.
