Summary
Prateek Temkar is a product and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building cloud-native security and collaboration products from code to market, currently directing Symantec’s CloudSOC cloud application security portfolio in San Francisco. He blends deep technical pedigree—MS in Computer Science and years as a senior software engineer at Cisco—with an MBA from UCLA to drive product strategy, go-to-market execution, and data-driven product growth. His work spans identity, compliance, UEBA/ML-driven threat detection, and platform integrations across enterprise SaaS and IaaS, and he’s helped position CloudSOC as a leader in analyst evaluations. Known for shipping measurable improvements (product analytics, site-speed and security initiatives) and hiring strong PM teams, he pairs hands-on systems experience with cross-functional leadership. A less obvious strength: he has shipped both low-level integrations (VR/Glass, OAuth2/SAML identity platforms) and high-level analytics pipelines, making him fluent across infrastructure, security, and user-facing product tradeoffs.
