SAN FRANCISCO -- 

Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of identity for the enterprise, welcomes Susan St. Ledger as president of worldwide field operations. St. Ledger will join Okta’s executive management team and report to Todd McKinnon, CEO and co-founder. St. Ledger will start at Okta on February 1, 2021 and Charles Race, Okta’s current president of worldwide field operations who is retiring, will continue to lead worldwide field operations until that date to ensure a smooth transition, as announced during Okta’s FY21 Q1 earnings call.
