Overview
Sonali Shah is a technology executive with 25 years of experience in product management, marketing, corporate strategy, finance, and M&A. Her accomplishments include building high-performing product and marketing teams, launching startups, and taking high-growth companies into new markets and regions. Sonali joined Invicti in June of 2021, and her presence has already made meaningful, positive contributions to both the culture and operations of the organization.
In just a year-and-a-half as Invicti’s Chief Product Officer, Sonali has played a defining role in a number of critical initiatives – contributing greatly to recent company successes that include bringing on 750 new customers. Sonali’s previous roles include CPO at WhiteOps and Veracode, and VP of Products and Marketing at BitSight. She received her MBA in Finance from the Wharton School and an MS in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Across her career, Sonali has established a broad track record of success in championing corporate, product, and go-to-market strategies that have proven time and again her value as a leader and industry influencer. In addition, long before the majority of organizations had even begun to consider diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, Sonali had established herself as a pioneering advocate for increased representation of minority groups in the tech sector. In her spare time, Sonali is an avid painter and volunteers with Boston-area nonprofits that help advance access, equity and funding for educational programs.
