Nandy will join Okta’s executive management team and report

CTO, Nandy will lead Okta’s engineering and business technology
functions and be responsible for the strategic planning of product
development activities.
Nandy has built an industry reputation for effectively leading
development teams and delivering engineering solutions at scale. He
joins Okta after more than 15 successful years at Google, most
recently as Vice President of Engineering overseeing several
critical components of Google’s core advertising business, the
backbone of the company’s growth and revenue. Prior to his time in
Ads, he helped build Google's measurement and analytics offerings,
taking several products from inception to market leaders. He has
held additional senior leadership roles at Google, gaining
expertise in people leadership and end-to-end enterprise technology
development and design. Nandy earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science
and Engineering from UC San Diego and a B.E. from the Birla
Institute of Technology and Science (BITS, Pilani).
“Okta’s vision is to enable everyone to safely use any
technology. We’re driven to bring simple and secure digital access
to people and organizations everywhere, and with Sagnik at the helm
of our technology team, we’re deepening our investment and further
asserting the importance of identity,” said McKinnon. “As an
engineer at heart and by trade, I have a special appreciation for
Sagnik’s impressive background and depth across enterprise software
development, cloud infrastructure, and business-critical systems.
Beyond his technical expertise, he’s a strong team builder and
understands the importance of people and culture. Sagnik is the
right leader to further extend Okta’s technology and market
leadership and drive our next phase of innovation — we’re thrilled
to welcome him to the team.”
“Identity is the most important and powerful component of an
organization’s technology and security strategy,” said Sagnik
Nandy. “Okta occupies the critical position as the gateway to
digitization for companies large and small across the globe, and
the opportunity this creates is tremendous. Okta is uniquely able
to address the most pressing technology and business problems
organizations face to deliver delightful customer and workforce
experiences. I’m excited to build on Okta’s already strong
foundation and lead the talented team responsible for the future of
development and innovation at the company.”
