Today, as I embark on a new journey with Bugcrowd, I reflect on the most common question I have heard: “why leave Okta?” It’s a good question. I am honored to have served as the Chief Security Officer at Okta, building a world-class security program for a truly innovative company. Moreover, the ride at Okta was meteoric and I know they will continue on their path to success. But now, it’s time for disruption. To be more specific, the opportunity to completely change the information security industry. That is where Bugcrowd is going – and that train is leaving the station with me on it. The company has perfected its bug bounty market delivery, proven by Federal Agencies pushing programs, indicating a growing market. I am thrilled to see this growth, as it extends beyond just bug bounty programs. Implementing a gig economy model can change the face of security for everyone, addressing a significant talent deficit in the industry. As Vice President of Operations, I will help foster connections between customers and the crowd, aiming to fundamentally change how security is done.
