Todd McKinnon

Todd McKinnon is the co-founder and CEO of Okta, the leading independent identity platform, which he built from a two-person startup in 2009 into a publicly traded company with over 18,000 customers and $2 billion in annual revenue. A former head of engineering at Salesforce, McKinnon saw the cloud shift coming before most and bet his career - and his family's financial security - on the idea that identity would become the new security perimeter. He has led Okta through its 2017 NASDAQ IPO, a $6.5 billion acquisition of Auth0 in 2021, and a high-profile 2022 security breach, emerging from each as a more seasoned, candid, and mission-driven leader.
