Gupta joins Rubrik from LiveRamp where she was the resident and head of product and platforms, leading product development and go-to-market operations and strategy.

During her time at LiveRamp, Gupta held a number of leadership roles, including Chief Product Officer.

Rubrik says Gupta brings more than a decade of product and SaaS expertise to the company with a track record of driving revenue growth, navigating expansions to new markets, and overseeing diversity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives.

Gupta also sits on the board of directors for Tinuiti. 

“As the pioneer of Zero Trust Data Management and the pace setter of innovation for the industry, we look forward to welcoming such a talented Chief Product Officer to accelerate and deliver on our future,” said Dan Rogers, President of Rubrik.

“Rubrik helps the world’s leading organisations manage their data and recover from ransomware, and Anneka’s enterprise acumen and experience innovating at-scale will be the perfect addition to the leadership team.” 

“Rubrik is uniquely placed to solve the three big challenges of data today: rapid recovery from ransomware, automation of data operations, and transition of data to the cloud,” said Gupta.

“I’m looking forward to building on Rubrik’s leadership position as the most innovative data management company.”

Rubrik says Gupta’s hire comes on the heels of several marquee appointments and “expands on its leadership team hailing from some of the world’s most innovative companies, including Google, Amazon, ServiceNow, Atlassian, ThoughtSpot, Box, and more”.
