SailPoint Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, is pleased to announce the appointment of Chandra Gnanasambandam as Executive Vice President (EVP) of Product and Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Chandra joins SailPoint after a distinguished, two decades-long career at McKinsey & Company, where he most recently co-led the firm’s global high-tech practice.
Chandra’s expertise spans both product management and engineering, with a proven track record of driving large-scale transformations for some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing cloud companies. His leadership has helped organizations achieve significant market capitalization growth through strategic and impactful changes in both software and hardware. Prior to his work in McKinsey’s high-tech practice, Chandra co-founded and led Fuel, McKinsey’s investor and start-up arm, and was a founding partner of McKinsey’s Bangalore office in India. Chandra started his career as a Java architect in the early days of Java at Sun Microsystems. There, he contributed to the programming language’s development and implementation for large customers.
“Chandra’s deep expertise in technology, product management, and engineering, combined with his extensive experience working with top global leaders in the tech sector, will be invaluable as we continue to scale and innovate at SailPoint,” said Mark McClain, SailPoint’s CEO and Founder. “We are thrilled to welcome him to our executive team, and we look forward to the leadership and vision he will bring to our product and technology strategies.”
