Anjali Arora — CTO

As CTO of Perforce Software, I lead global product management, engineering, security, and innovation across a broad portfolio of software solutions. My focus is on helping teams build and deliver high-stakes software systems by creating technology strategies and products that scale in complex, fast-moving environments. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to lead global teams and bring innovative products to market across both high-growth and publicly traded companies, including Rocket Software, Oracle, Allscripts, and CA Technologies (now part of Broadcom). These experiences have shaped how I approach leadership, transformation, and the challenges technology organizations face as systems grow more complex. I am particularly passionate about building high-performing global teams and creating environments where engineers and technologists can do their best work. I am also a strong advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the technology industry, with a focus on expanding opportunities for women in tech. I hold a B.A. from St. Stephen’s College (University of Delhi) and a Master of Computer Applications from the University of Delhi. I regularly speak at global technology events, including Grace Hopper Celebration India and CIO 100 Leadership Live, and share perspectives in publications such as DevOps.com and The New Stack. I am always open to connecting on speaking or collaboration opportunities.
