Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced it has appointed Chris Veith, Senior Director of Global Alliances.

He will manage Strata’s relationships with GSIs, including EY, Deloitte, and Wipro, who serve as trusted partners for Digital Transformation programs in the Global 2000 market.

“Global systems integrators are an integral part of our go-to-market strategy, given their ability to accelerate time to value for large enterprises they support,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. “Chris is a proven alliances executive with a stellar track record in the identity management market. He will help us build out our partner program and work with the world’s top GSIs to deliver highly scalable identity orchestration and integration solutions that meet the complex demands of the world’s largest organizations.”
