Balaji Ganesan
Balaji Ganesan is Co-Founder and CEO of Privacera (now Trust3 AI), the data security and AI governance platform built on top of Apache Ranger technology he co-created. A survivor of the Miracle on the Hudson, he co-founded XA Secure in 2013, which was acquired by Hortonworks and open-sourced as Apache Ranger — now deployed across thousands of enterprises globally. He launched Privacera in 2016 to extend that governance vision to multi-cloud environments, raised $67.3M in total funding, and counts Nike, Intuit, and Autodesk among his customers.

Privacera (now operating as Trust3 AI by Privacera) is a Newark, California-based enterprise software company that runs a unified data and AI access governance platform. Built by the co-creators of Apache Ranger, it gives Fortune 500 teams a single place to discover sensitive data, set policies, and enforce access across Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure, GCP, and the new generation of LLM-powered apps.
