Socket

Mid-Enterprise Account Executive

  • I work at Socket with AppSec and security engineering teams focused on reducing open-source dependency and software supply-chain risk, helping teams catch risky or malicious packages EARLY in the SDLC. My day-to-day is centered on practical adoption in the dev workflow (PR/CI signals) and consistent, policy-driven guardrails that security teams can stand behind.
