K Harishree J Rai — Technical Program Manager
As a passionate engineer that transitioned into the managerial environment; Focus, discipline, and how to be a true team player are the skills that I carry with me when I walk into a room and network with people across the globe.These skills shape the way I show up today as a Technical Program Manager in Security at Salesforce, where I bring people together to solve complex challenges and scale security across global platforms. I lead the secure identity migrations for Salesforce M&As, drove the adoption of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce least privilege, and partnered with engineering leadership to improve vulnerability hygiene across cloud environments. Along the way, I’ve helped design roadmaps for secure software development, managed compliance programs, and even saved $200K annually in infrastructure costs through process optimization. My career began with specializing in network engineering and VPN security, troubleshooting SD-WAN and firewalls, mentoring new hires, and serving on hiring panels. Combined with a Master’s in Information Security Policy & Management from Carnegie Mellon University, I’ve built a foundation that blends technical depth with program leadership. I love connecting with people - whether it’s about security, career journeys, or just exchanging ideas. Focus Areas: Identity & Access Management | Security Assurance | Cloud & Network Security | Program Management | Product Management
