BELLEVUE, Wash. -- May 5, 2018 -- Auth0, a global leader in Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), announced that renowned identity expert Vittorio Bertocci will be joining the company as Principal Architect. Bertocci will apply his vast knowledge of the identity industry to Auth0 in all aspects of the company, including internal and external education, product innovation, and customer integration.
Bertocci has spent most of his 20-year career at Microsoft, where he worked on the Azure Active Directory team and focused largely on improving the developer experience. As a published author of four identity books and a highly-trafficked blog: cloudidentity.com, his forward-thinking commentary has enabled him to speak at conferences, such as BUILD, PDC, TechEd, Cloud Identity Summit, and many other industry events around the world.
