Matt Caulfield is a seasoned engineering executive and founder who has spent 11+ years building product and identity security strategy across startups and Cisco, currently serving as VP of Product for Identity at Cisco. He blends hands-on technical roots from Cornell and Stanford with entrepreneurial experience as founder & CEO of Oort, where he reframed enterprise security around identity-first principles. Comfortable wearing every hat—from engineering to sales and finance—he excels at hiring talent to scale vision into product and market traction. Known for leading cross-functional teams in cloud, networking, video streaming, and security, he drives thought leadership on identity-first security while staying deeply pragmatic about operational execution. A generalist who seeks the person smarter than himself, he brings both systems-level thinking and founder grit to large product portfolios.
