One Identity has announced the appointment of Gihan Munasinghe as its new chief technology officer, with responsibility for leading the company’s global engineering organisation and defining its long-term technology strategy.
One Identity specialises in identity and access management software designed to help organisations secure, manage and govern digital identities across complex IT environments. Its platform supports businesses in protecting sensitive systems and data, ensuring that the right users have the appropriate level of access at the right time.
The company’s technology is used by enterprises to strengthen cybersecurity posture, reduce operational risk and meet regulatory and compliance requirements, particularly as organisations increasingly operate in hybrid and cloud-based environments.
In his role as CTO, Munasinghe will lead One Identity’s engineering teams and oversee the company’s technology roadmap. He will be responsible for driving innovation across the product portfolio, with a focus on delivering customer-centric platforms that can scale to meet evolving security, operational and deployment needs. His remit also includes accelerating the company’s transition towards software-as-a-service delivery models, reflecting growing demand for fully managed and cloud-native security solutions.
Munasinghe brings more than 15 years of experience in senior technology leadership roles within the enterprise software sector. He has built a reputation for scaling global engineering organisations and modernising complex legacy systems, enabling businesses to introduce new digital products while maintaining stability and performance. His career has focused on developing high-performance engineering cultures and embedding operational excellence across distributed teams serving large customer bases.
The appointment comes at a time when customer expectations are shifting towards fully managed SaaS models, placing greater emphasis on reliability, security and ease of consumption. One Identity said the move reflects its broader commitment to delivering enterprise-grade software that combines scale and resilience with rapid innovation, positioning the business to meet future identity security challenges.
One Identity CEO Praerit Garg said, “Delighting customers starts with the products they rely on every day. Gihan brings the right combination of technical depth, operational discipline, and customer-first thinking to help us continue innovating and evolving our core platforms, while accelerating our SaaS delivery model that customers increasingly demand. His leadership will be critical as we transform how we build, operate, and scale our technology.”
“This is a pivotal moment for One Identity and the identity security industry,” said Munasinghe. “Customers expect products that are not only innovative, but also reliable, secure, and easy to consume. I look forward to working with the team to strengthen the products customers trust today, while delivering the quality, scale, and the innovation velocity their businesses demand for the future.”
