Deepali Bhoite — CEO
I believe trust is the currency of modern business - and cybersecurity is how we earn it. As a Chief Information Security Officer, I have built security programs that don’t just defend - they enable innovation, speed, and confidence for teams driving digital transformation. My work lives at the intersection of identity, AI and human-centered design, helping organizations secure the technologies that shape their future. At Quickbase, I lead a security strategy that scales across a fast-growing SaaS platform, ensuring that every line of code, every integration and every AI capability is grounded in resilience. My team’s mission is simple: make security invisible, intuitive, and inseparable from the way we build and deliver value. Before Quickbase, I served as CISO at Anaplan and held leadership roles at ServiceNow, Simeio, and IBM - experiences that deepened my conviction that great security isn’t about tools, but about clarity, accountability, and purpose. Today, I am passionate about elevating security conversations from technical checklists to strategic boardroom dialogue. I speak and write about topics that matter to the next generation of security leaders — from AI governance and zero trust adoption to diversity, mentorship, and sustainable resilience. Through Skopos Shield, my vCISO advisory, I continue to help organizations modernize their security architectures and prepare for what’s next — not just what’s now. Focus Areas: AI & Identity Security | Cloud Resilience | Risk Governance | Zero Trust | AppSec | M&A Cyber Integration | Human-Centered Leadership
