Rick Fitz

Rick Fitz is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at Contrast Security, the application security company behind the 'Shift Smart' approach to securing software from within. A 25-year enterprise software veteran, Fitz came to the role in April 2023 after six-plus years as SVP and General Manager of Splunk's IT Operations and Application Development Market Group, where he steered the company through landmark acquisitions including SignalFX. At Contrast, he leads a 240-person company with $274M in total funding as it works to redefine how developers and security teams find and fix vulnerabilities at runtime - inside applications as they run, rather than scanning from the outside.
