Shep Parke
ENTERPRISE RISK ADVISOR
Over four decades, through quite a few technology advances, I’ve worked with many of the largest enterprises globally to improve results by leveraging new automation technology.
Experience
Strategic Partnership Building
Over several decades I’ve been blessed to work with tremendously talented teams across a wide array of sectors globally.
Starting with Procter & Gamble, then Georgia-Pacific Consumer Paper where we partnered to open the then emerging, now world’s largest business – Walmart relationship.
Continuing with an ex-McKinsey team to help build Sales Technologies – the first Sales Automation platform made possible as computers became mobile +networked via dialup modems. Partnering with early technology leaders Digital Equipment and Microsoft.
Shifting into enterprise automation with Wang Laboratories – where we avoided bankruptcy winning an object linking & embedding (OLE) patent suit against Microsoft – think enabling muliple programs to operate from same memory space – core to Windows.
Graduating into, building deep enterprise advisory experience with KPMG Consulting, then Andersen Consulting, then Accenture – which was absolutley not Enron driven. Guiding several of the world’s largest, most successful enterprises through their data-driven Customer engagement journeys. Culminating with market and partnership research setting the stage for Accenture’s fourth growth platform – Digital.
Since fall 2016 (last 6+ yrs), I’ve been fortunate to learn the global Identity market in-depth – first helping build Saviynt from 50 to 500+ FTEs – then helping scale Delinea (ex:ThycoticCentrify) from 400 to 1,000+ FTEs. Now helping scale Pathlock, the leader is Application Security & Controls Automation. For each of these market disruptors, I’ve built, led strategic partnerships w/ the largest, most influential cyber risk advisory +solution +tech firms.
