Anand Singh is SVP and Chief Information Security Officer at Alkami Technology, the gold standard in digital banking. He has actively shaped cybersecurity over the years through his roles in fintech, healthcare, and retail. Anand is an expert in cloud, quantum computing, and blockchain security. He is also a board advisor for managing enterprise cybersecurity risk.

"Cloud security poses a new and different set of challenges compared to on-premises environments," said Anand Singh. "Ermetic is addressing one the most complicated problems in the cloud, securing the complex relationships associated with entitlements, configurations and access. I look forward to working with the management team to extend their leadership position in the market."

Siddharth Reddy is head of security at Yelp, a technology company that connects people with local businesses. He is responsible for protecting and securing Yelp's product, applications, services, cloud and corporate infrastructure. Previously, he built and managed the Incident Response team at Autodesk.

"Many organizations lack visibility into the risk posture of their cloud environment and the security vulnerabilities introduced by human error," said Siddharth Reddy. "Ermetic has developed an automated platform that takes the guesswork out of cloud security and is a force multiplier for managing large infrastructures. It's an exciting time to be joining the company as an advisor."
