- GEO Strategy Ownership: Serve as the primary owner for GEO strategy and execution for both Okta and Auth0, adapting to a fast-changing organic search landscape. This includes developing and aligning strategy across all relevant international properties that aligns with overall business objectives and anticipated shifts in Generative AI
- Visionary Leadership: Operate as a GEO leader who can articulate a strategic vision for GEO/AEO and translate it into a clear, prioritized execution roadmap

- Technical SEO: Identify technical opportunities to help with GEO and communicate effectively to development teams
- Competitive Analysis: stay abreast of competitors and routinely analyze data to further the growth of Okta’s GEO initiatives
- Reporting & Insights: Use available data resources and tools to determine KPIs, develop regular reporting systems, and be able to showcase actual GEO implementations and wins to senior leadership audiences
Our take
Okta started off as an identity company where organisations, large and small, could tap into the company to have a single sign-on interface to access all cloud applications now centralised. Okta has since expanded to provide identity management at the device as well as the server level.
The new approach towards network security is increasingly based on identification and authentication, and Okta is on track to become the go-to vendor in the space. It aims to do so by developing products that enable people to access applications and other tools more smoothly and securely than ever before.
Okta has taken strides towards expansion through significant employee growth and shuffling executive leadership. The company has also made lateral moves such as tackling governance concerns, opening up new paths for revenue.
