Join us to a delightful conversation with Meera Shankar, a leading voice in cybersecurity. In her spare time she shamelessly evangelizes her love of basketball, music, and her dog.

Meera Shankar is the Director of Evangelism and Strategic Partnerships at Okera.

In her previous life, Meera worked in market research for The Clorox Company. It was there she learned a valuable lesson: her most successful weeks at work are the ones in which she laughs and learns something new at least twice a day.

While at Splunk, she served as a leading voice for cybersecurity, presenting at numerous industry and tech partner conferences, and hosting webinars for internal and external audiences. Through her work, Meera became the face of Splunk’s security partner organization, and is credited with growing the Security Nerve Center by 200%+. She later moved to internal security, where she worked under the Chief Information Security Offer on all things governance, risk, and compliance.

Meera holds a Bachelor’s from Yale University, and an M.B.A. from the University of Virginia.
