I am a co-founder at Descope. Before Descope, I was VP of R&D at Demisto, a security orchestration leader that was acquired by Palo Alto Networks. Prior to Demisto, I was the first employee at Sentrigo, a database security startup, eventually growing to R&D manager ahead of Sentrigo’s acquisition by McAfee. My career spans over two decades and is marked by getting things done and building products that are loved by customers. Outside of work, I enjoys spending time with my family, organizing volunteering activities in my neighborhood and magic.

At Descope, I am driven by two things: the problem we are solving and the people I am working with. I am excited by our goal of helping organizations reduce friction and improve security at the most important stage of their customer’s journey. And it’s an honor to achieve this goal with people I have worked with across companies for over 20 years. We are friends first, founders second, and prioritize solving big problems while having fun along the way.

Descope was recently selected as the Identity Startup of the Year Delighted to be recognized at the European Identity and Cloud Conference! We'd like to thank the "what you have" and "who you are" authentication factors (not so much the "what you know" one). KuppingerCole Analysts AG for the award! We're always up for identity chats.
