In the newly created role, Weingartner will lead HashiCorp’s

Weingartner joins with a wealth of experience from SAP (where he
was a customer of HashiCorp), Oracle, and most recently Google
Cloud. At Google, he focused on the strategy and development of the

HashiCorp, I have extensive knowledge of the products and an
understanding of the value they deliver,” said Weingartner. “I have
always embraced a customer-centric view when building products,
while engaging the full value delivery chain — from marketing to
ongoing support. I am eager to apply my unique set of experiences
to help HashiCorp build and deliver best-in-class cloud
infrastructure automation products.”
Along with Weingartner’s appointment, HashiCorp is promoting
Tariq to CIO and CSO, which will allow him to continue growing and
scaling HashiCorp’s cloud-first security program with
responsibility for security, technology and data engineering teams
in alignment with R&D.
Tariq has 20 years of experience building and scaling security
programs from startups to Fortune 100 organizations. Prior to
HashiCorp, Tariq served as Chief Information Security Officer at
Anki and FinancialForce and held various security leadership
positions at PwC and Microsoft. He serves as an advisor to security
startups and works with clients across a range of industries on
matters related to data breaches, intellectual property thefts,
hacking events, forensic investigations, security program
development, security operations, and threat and vulnerability
assessments.
“I’m excited to take on this new role at HashiCorp, which will
enable us to continue to deliver innovative and secure solutions to
our customers around the world,” said Tariq. “During my time at
HashiCorp I’ve developed our security, technology and compliance
strategy and worked closely with customers to understand and
support their most crucial security requirements as they adopt our
suite of products for infrastructure and security lifecycle
management.”
