Charan Mann is a Distinguished Cloud Architect and team leader with two decades of hands-on experience in Identity and Access Management, security architecture, and cloud migrations, currently leading cloud architecture and teams at Ping Identity. CISSP-certified and fluent in ForgeRock and RSA product suites, he designs and delivers complex SSO, CIAM, OAuth/OIDC, UMA and federation solutions while advising sales and pre-sales on SOWs and delivery strategies.

Known for mentoring engineers and standardizing professional services, he has driven automated health-check initiatives and authored workshop accelerators that shorten time-to-cloud. Earlier in his career he combined product engineering and virtualization work—porting enterprise agents to s390 and converting access management to virtual appliances—showing a rare mix of low-level systems and cloud-native experience. Based in Charlotte, NC, he blends consultant pragmatism with developer rigor, often turning complex security requirements into repeatable, auditable delivery artifacts.
