Ep 181 From Bootstrapping to IPO, CEO at Every Stage with Mark McClain

Mark McClain
I’ve been an entrepreneur in the identity management market for more than 20 years, cofounding two companies that have driven innovation in the market. SailPoint (NYSE:SAIL), has built its business on the foundational principle that identity is power. We have been in business for more than 15 years, and the company continues to grow with profitability. Our commitment to innovation and consistently high customer satisfaction are among the reasons the biggest, most complex organizations in the world rely on SailPoint to help them improve security while staying agile.

As CEO, I’m passionate about building a corporate culture that brings good people together to accomplish great things. I love giving back to our community and working with up-and-coming entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and expand Austin’s influence in technology. I speak frequently at investor and industry events and write for the SailPoint blog and a variety of industry publications. I have also been recognized as a highest-rated CEO by Glassdoor and by EY as an Entrepreneur of the Year.
