Ross Sherman is Sr. Director of Global Agentic AI at SailPoint, bringing a rare combination of enterprise leadership, entrepreneurial experience, and deep technical conviction to one of the most consequential problems in modern security. A former Fortune 500 public officer and co-founder of Driveway.com, Ross has spent his career operating at the intersection of scale, innovation, and accountability — experience that directly informs how he thinks about governance in the age of autonomous AI. At SailPoint, he leads the company's global agentic AI technical GTM, focused on how autonomous entities — systems that increasingly log into systems, access sensitive data, and act on behalf of users — are fundamentally challenging traditional models of identity governance.  A practitioner and published voice on the subject, Ross holds a firm view that agentic AI represents both a powerful force for innovation and a distinct new attack surface — one that demands an identity-first approach to governance.
