Filip Kaliszan is the chief executive officer and founder of Verkada, a Silicon Valley Unicorn disrupting the $100b+ industry of physical security. Since founding Verkada in 2016, Filip has led the organization’s technology growth into five essential security product lines with more than 11,000 customers. He has overseen Verkada’s international expansion, scaling its workforce to more than 1,000 employees across the globe, which has led to being named a LinkedIn Top Startup three years in a row and listed as a top place to work by Inc. Magazine and San Francisco Business Journal. 

A builder at heart, Filip created his first startup as just a sophomore in college at Stanford University. The startup was CourseRank, a platform for college students to rate and review professors and create and share course schedules. After only a few short years, he sold it to Chegg.

Filip holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science and systems and a master’s degree in computer science from Stanford University.
