Krishna Bala
Chief Technology Officer at ThreatModeler Software, Inc
New York, New York, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolKrishna Bala is a seasoned technology executive and founder with over two decades of experience building and scaling SaaS cloud healthcare products and high-tech optical systems. He has repeatedly translated deep technical vision into disciplined execution — founding a company that went public in a multi-billion-dollar IPO and leading multiple M&A exits that outperformed industry revenue multiples. As an engineering leader he has driven end-to-end delivery of complex, regulated healthcare platforms and AI-enabled pathology solutions, most recently serving as CTO after senior engineering roles at Proscia and ResMed. Krishna combines hands-on systems and network architecture expertise from his early research and optical-switching days with pragmatic product delivery and team-building skills. Based in New York with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Columbia, he is comfortable bridging research, product strategy, and commercial scaling in both startups and public companies. An unusual detail: he pairs deep academic credentials with serial operator experience across IPOs and acquisitions, making him as fluent in M&A and capital outcomes as in code and cloud architecture.
