Schoenfeld and Lok join CTO Kunal Anand to complete the impressive list of technologists who are leading the company at the executive level. Anand joined Imperva in 2018 through the Prevoty acquisition, where he served as the co-founder and CTO.

Prior to this, he held roles driving security and engineering innovation at leading global organizations including Gravity, MySpace and the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab. Anand is responsible for the company’s technology vision.
