Why we’re bringing Mark Anderson onto Verkada’s board

At Verkada, we are solving a very real and important challenge in the world right now: safety. Today more than 33,500 organizations across 93 countries worldwide, including 96 of the Fortune 500, trust Verkada to help them protect their people and property more effectively while simplifying how their workplaces run.

Scaling a company in a category as big and critical as physical security takes more than just great products—it takes world-class go-to-market execution. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Mark Anderson to our Board of Directors.

Mark knows what it takes to build and scale some of the most important enterprise technology businesses of the past two decades. He grew Alteryx to $1 billion in revenue; helped drive Palo Alto Networks’ growth from pre-IPO to more than $3.5 billion in annualized revenue; and scaled F5 Networks’ global sales to over $1 billion. Today, he serves as President of Revenue at Cloudflare and sits on the board of 1Password.

Mark’s experience building global teams and scaling revenue engines will help us reach more customers, more quickly. And his perspective as a board member will push us to keep raising the bar as we grow.

We couldn’t be more excited to have him on board as we take Verkada into its next phase.
