Summary
Currently CMO of DigiCert. Before joining DigiCert, I was the CMO of ForgeRock for almost 5 years. During this period, we transformed into a subscription-based cloud company, expanded our product line into one of the most comprehensive identity and access management platforms for the enterprise, almost quadrupled our ARR to over $250M, successfully went public on the NYSE, and built a predictable, data-driven, go-to-market engine with tightly aligned marketing and sales teams. This culminated in Thoma Bravo acquiring ForgeRock for $2.3B and combining it with Ping Identity. I went on sabbatical after the acquisition :-). Prior to ForgeRock, I led a consulting company, CerebralAction (www.c12n.com), that helped technology companies with their marketing and product commercialization. This included developing their go-to-market strategy, helping them implement that strategy and tracking measurable results. Clients included a broad range of companies including BlueShift, NewEdge Labs, ForgeRock, SparkPost and Zscaler. Prior to starting CerebralAction, I led marketing at Zscaler where I rebuilt and expanded the marketing team into a ~60-person worldwide organization. Before that I was CMO at Act-On Software for 4 explosive years of growth where the company grew by almost 20x. Prior to that I led the User Authentication business at VeriSign and later Symantec which acquired the business in August 2010. From 2006 to 2009 I ran marketing for the gateway security business at McAfee, Secure Computing and CipherTrust (McAfee acquired Secure which had acquired CipherTrust) and also ran the messaging security division at Secure Computing in 2008. I was a member of the founding team at Responsys (NASDAQ: MKTG), an online marketing company funded by Foundation Capital & Accel Partners, Mercora, an online music company, and an early employee of both Netscape (NASDAQ: NSCP) and Clarify (NASDAQ: CLFY). Specialties: Marketing, marketing & sales technology, product management, business planning, business development, P&L general management
