Last week I shared data on how the number of companies appointing chief trust officers (CTrO) is on the rise. Also ascendant: the number of veteran CTrOs, as Atlassian’s recent appointment of Vikram Rao testifies.
Rao was previously CTrO at Salesforce, the American software giant’s second such executive, and is now at Atlassian, replacing the Australian software giant's inaugural CTrO, Adrian Ludwig. But the leading tech companies can’t just trade existing CTrOs. There needs to be more talent joining the pool.
