San Francisco-based identity and access management company Okta hired a new chief technology officer and president of technology in August. Sagnik Nandy joined the company from Google, where he worked for about 15 years, most recently with the title of vice president of engineering, according to an Okta statement.

At Mountain View, Calif.-based Google, Nandy oversaw “several critical components of Google’s core advertising business, the backbone of the company’s growth and revenue,” according to the statement. “Prior to his time in Ads, he helped build Google‘s measurement and analytics offerings, taking several products from inception to market leaders.”

In his new role, Nandy will lead Okta’s engineering and business technology functions and help with strategic planning around product development activities, according to the statement. He reports directly to Todd McKinnon, CEO and co-founder.
