Raj Sarkar

I am the ex-CMO of 1Password and an Advisor at many startups. At 1Password I was part of the executive team that raised $920M from top-notch VC firms, business luminaries, and artists for a valuation of $6.7B; was recognized as one of the top 100 Private Cloud companies by Forbes; exceeded 100,000 B2B customers (and many more individuals and families) with triple-digit revenues and high double-digit revenue growth; launched the first 1P commercial (search "cybersecurity skincare"); and built out the marketing organization from the ground up.

Before 1Password, I was the CMO of Prisma Cloud at Palo Alto Networks and the Head of Marketing for All Teams at Atlassian, managing a portfolio of products including Trello, Confluence, New Ventures, ( Halp, Jira for Business Teams), and Business Team Solutions. I also led the Stride, Hipchat, and Bitbucket marketing teams at Atlassian. I have experience in launching and bringing new products to market including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Platform, Google Meet/Talk, and Cisco Small Business. I launched Google Cloud Platform and cloud.google.com at Google I/O in 2012 and was technically the first PMM on AWS S3.

I advise startups and founders on GTM investments in various stages. My passion is around building low-CAC, low-touch GTM models, and bringing a growth mindset to Enterprise Marketing. I call myself an ardent student of PLG. My secret sauce is combining PLG motion with enterprise outbound motion and brand investments to accelerate and grow organizations from $10M+ ARR to $500M+ ARR. I was recently recognized by Forbes as one of the top 50 entrepreneurial CMOs of 2022.
