“Meredith has played a pivotal role in the development of GoTo’s culture and community over the past four years, spearheading several initiatives that helped to build GoTo career paths and cultivate a growth mindset with our leaders and employees,” says Paddy Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer of GoTo. “We view our people and culture to be essential for the success of the business, and Meredith’s professional development journey is a testament to the internal mobility at GoTo. I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Meredith to continue to build and evolve GoTo’s great culture of over 3,000 global employees.”
Bolstering the company’s security leadership team, Attila Török returns to GoTo as the newly appointed CISO, having previously held leadership positions within the company’s security department from 2014 to 2019. Attila played a key role in his first tenure (then known as LogMeIn), building the company’s security function before leaving to serve as Zapier’s Head of Security. In his new role at GoTo, Attila will be responsible for the security of internal systems and products, safeguarding GoTo’s information assets.
“We are delighted to have Attila return to GoTo. Security is and always has been a top priority of our company. With an ever-evolving security landscape, it’s more important than ever that we have a strong leader dedicated to safeguarding our information assets and leading us into a secure future,” says Olga Lagunova, Chief Technology Officer of GoTo. “Attila’s expertise in cloud and product security and his proven record of seamlessly integrating security in all aspects of the product development process make him ideally suited to lead GoTo as we deepen our commitment to providing our customers with best-in-industry innovative and secure SaaS products.”
