Ani Chaudhuri, Co-founder & CEO at Dasera

Ani Chaudhuri, Co-founder & CEO at Dasera talks about the significance of bringing data lifecycle security to cloud data stores for protection from potential threats

1. Tell us how you came to be the Co-founder and CEO at Dasera. How much of your typical day is involved in innovating new technology for your customers?

About a third of my time is spent thinking about the problems our customers face and coming up with ways we can best solve for those problems through Dasera. This means talking to customers or partners first-hand and researching competitors to better understand what existing security solutions are in place and what’s missing in the security landscape for us to be able to close the gap. The remaining two-thirds of my time is dedicated to enabling the team to do the best work they can do. This could range from resource mobilization to hiring to helping the company pull in the same direction.

2. How did you define the vision of Dasera? How did you approach your first 100 days as the CEO at Dasera?

Our vision is to help build trust between consumers and companies by enabling the safe use of sensitive data. To achieve that, we provide data lifecycle security in the cloud.

In the first 100 days, my Co-founder, Dr. Noah Johnson, and I did 3 things. We interviewed customers to learn about the pain points they face when it comes to locating and protecting sensitive data, talked to investors to raise our seed round and hired team members who could build our vision.
