Raj most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer at Prisma Cloud, part of Palo Alto Networks, and Head of Marketing at Atlassian, where he managed the marketing teams for Trello, Confluence and New Ventures/Solutions.

"I've truly enjoyed working closely with Raj this past year while he was on our Advisory Board, and know that he is the perfect choice to join my executive team." said Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password.
