All About Our Founder, Eve Maler

Eve Maler is a Privacy By Design Ambassador and an award-winning standards developer. She has co-founded 7+ standards and contributed to dozens. She owned the identity standards strategy for Sun Microsystems and ForgeRock and owned ForgeRock’s patent program.

Eve joined ForgeRock’s Office of the CTO in 2014 as it took Series B funding. During her 2020-2023 tenure as ForgeRock CTO, it reached Series E, launched its IPO, and was acquired by Thoma Bravo. With her guiding hand on emerging technology R&D, evangelism, and innovation culture, ForgeRockʼs ARR rose 85% to $251.3M, and the company achieved coveted leader status in reports from the top three IAM analysts: Gartner, Forrester, and KuppingerCole.
