The Marketer Who Taught CrowdStrike to Say Three Words
She joined a cybersecurity startup nobody had heard of, gave it three words to stand on, and helped carry it to one of the biggest IPOs the industry has seen. Two decades in, Johanna Flower still believes the brand is the long game.
Kunal Agarwal
Kunal Agarwal is the founder and CEO of dope.security, the 'Fly Direct' Secure Web Gateway that runs security on the endpoint instead of routing all traffic through a distant cloud data center. A self-described hacker since age 8 who once talked his way out of juvenile detention after breaking into his high school's grading system, he spent roughly a decade at Symantec and Forcepoint - rising from engineer to running Symantec's IoT business and leading product at Forcepoint - before launching dope.security in 2022. The company raised a $16M Series A led by GV (Google Ventures), and Agarwal was named SC Awards 2025 Innovator of the Year.
