Jay Parikh has been solving challenges at the cutting edge of scale computing for decades. He was at NetGravity, which would become DoubleClick and then Google Ads, figuring out how to scale and automate internet advertising during the earliest day of web commerce. In 1999, Jay ran engineering teams at Akamai, where the challenge was to serve the web’s increasing thirst for rich media content at scale. Most recently, Jay was VP of Engineering at Meta as it grew from a predominantly single application company with 300 engineers and 300 million users to a team managing multiple applications (Facebook.com, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger) with 30,000+ engineers, for 3.5+ billion users. Jay is currently the Co-CEO of Lacework, a role he took on in partnership with fellow Co-CEO David Hatfield. He joined the fast-growing cloud security startup last summer, just before the company raised another record-breaking round of funding.
