As Chief Financial Officer at Zscaler, I have the privilege of leading our global finance organization and partnering with our CEO, executive team, and Board to translate strategy into execution. My focus is on scaling high-growth organizations and driving operational excellence to deliver long-term shareholder value. Over 20+ years in technology, I’ve helped companies navigate pivotal moments, from rapid scaling and business model evolution to IPO execution. Prior to Zscaler, I served as CFO at Alteryx, where I helped scale ARR to over $1B at nearly 40% CAGR - doubling about every two years - and led the company through its 2017 public offering. I was named CFO of the Year (Public Company) by the Orange County Business Journal in 2018. I’m passionate about building high-performing, collaborative teams and developing leaders who bring clarity, accountability, and strong business partnership to every decision. I’ve also served as CFO at companies in the enterprise software, data storage and telecommunications industries, and I’m a Board member of the Forum for Corporate Directors (FCD).
The Forum for Corporate Directors addresses current business topics through relevant programs, interaction with recognized experts, and thought leadership offering practical insights. We enhance board room effectiveness by creating a forum for collaboration among directors, executives, and advisors to the board.
