I oversee UberEther's IAM Advantage platform and Services business unit.

As Senior Director of Identity Security within Okta, I built a company-spanning program called Okta on Okta. Through deep partnership with our engineering/product functions, our field sales and customer success teams, and the broader business in general, we accomplish our mission to deliver the best-in-class identity-security experience for our employees and customers. I do this through three, interlocking priorities:First, we enable the business by providing IAM services using the Okta platform for all of our enterprise's workforce and customer identity use cases, including federal workforce. Second, we evolve the product by deeply partnering with our product and engineering teams here at Okta to position Okta as its own best and first customer. We also provide feedback and requirements based on our real-world usage of new features which are valuable to us as a growing company- and by extension, valuable to our customers as well.Last but certainly not least, we embed ourselves with our go-to-market, product marketing, and field teams to showcase the platform by sharing our own user and implementation stories here at Okta, and offering best practices, consultations, and playbooks so our customers can make the most of their platform experience alongside us.Through consistent execution, our team has grown from a small, 3-member skunkworks to a global team of 34 staff that impacts the bottom line through demonstrating the value of identity and access management in deep partnership with Okta's own security, customer trust, enablement, and information technology functions.
