Okta Appoints Andrew Wittman to Chief Marketing Officer - Seite 2

- $155 Million in Total Funding: Okta closed $75 million in Series E financing in June to support its growth strategy and bring Okta to businesses of all sizes, all over the world. The round was led by Sequoia Capital, and included contributions from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners and Khosla Ventures, as well as new investors Janus Capital Group and Altimeter Capital and will accelerate product innovation to grow Okta's Enterprise Identity Network.

"Our customer momentum, analyst accolades and continued investor commitment have all made 2014 a milestone year for Okta -- but we're not slowing down anytime soon," said Todd McKinnon, CEO of Okta. "Our next phase of growth will center on our ability to target a much wider set of companies and build on our reputation for wildly successful customer implementations. It will also require us to scale our marketing programs globally and explain the benefits of intuitive, flexible and secure identity management for companies of all sizes, regions and industries. Andrew's impressive resume and industry knowledge will be essential to doing just that."
