Multi-cloud Identity Orchestration leader
appoints 20-year industry veteran and co-founder of Good Dog Labs
to lead solution architecture
Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today
announced that Aldo Pietropaolo has joined the company as Field
CTO. Aldo has over 20 years of experience in the identity industry
as an executive, advisor, and solutions engineering leader. He
joins Strata from SGNL, where he was director of solutions
engineering.
As Field Chief Technology Officer (Field CTO), Aldo will serve
as the technical liaison, working closely with customers to
understand their unique multi-cloud and hybrid cloud identity
management requirements and challenges. He will provide expert
guidance on implementing Strata’s Maverics platform to help
organizations achieve their business goals, enhance security, and
ensure regulatory compliance.
“I’ve worked with Aldo several times over the past 25 years. He
is one of the sharpest minds in identity management and has the
unique ability to understand customer needs as well, and sometimes
better than they do,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. “As
Field CTO, he will play a central role in helping customers design,
architect, and implement customized solutions using Strata’s
Maverics for application and identity modernization, as well as
identity continuity.”
Prior to joining Strata Identity, Aldo was at modern privileged
identity management and authorization vendor SGNL, where he was
director of solutions engineering. He was co-founder of Good Dog
Labs and invented the first identity and access management
microservices-based product (Perseus IAM). Good Dog Labs was
acquired by Lighthouse Computer Services. Aldo has held senior
management roles in identity solutions engineering and architecture
with Identropy, PwC, HP, RSA and Securant.
“Identity management is at an inflection point, as organizations
modernize their applications and migrate from legacy on-premises
identity systems to cloud-based identity providers like AWS,
Microsoft, Okta, and others,” said Aldo Pietropaolo. “For a large
enterprise, this transition requires rewriting hundreds, sometimes
thousands of applications. Strata’s Maverics eliminates this
problem with a unique identity fabric that performs orchestration
across incompatible identity systems. I look forward to helping
customers eliminate the high costs, friction, and long delays
typically associated with identity modernization projects.”
About Strata Identity
Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration for
multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud. The orchestration recipe-powered
Maverics platform enables organizations to integrate and control
incompatible identity systems with an identity fabric that does not
change the user experience or require rewriting apps. Maverics also
provides identity continuity that prevents application outages by
failing over to an alternate cloud or on-premises IDP when the
primary IDP goes offline. By decoupling applications from identity,
Maverics makes it possible to implement modern authentication, like
passwordless, and enforce consistent access policies without
refactoring apps. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity
Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for
multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML
standard for SSO federation. For more information, visit us on the
