Carrizosa joins Soha from Walmart eCommerce where, as Principal Security Architect, he developed the company's global security architecture framework. Carrizosa has more than 15 years of experience in enterprise security management, having additionally held roles with Wells Fargo Bank and PetSmart, among other leading organizations. Carrizosa brings his experience and expertise to lead all information security aspects of Soha's internal company and cloud service infrastructure.

"From my first introduction to Soha more than a year ago I have been impressed with both the team and the company's vision," said Carrizosa. "Soha addresses many of the real-world problems I dealt with securing enterprise networks in the face of cloud adoption and mobility. Their unique and thoughtful approach effectively eliminates the risks of public exposure and drastically reduces operational overhead and costs, while maintaining a high level of security governance and visibility. I'm excited to join Haseeb and team on this awesome journey."
