The people building STACK Vault.
The team behind the trust and identity platform. Our leadership has spent careers shipping security and ML systems at scale — at AWS, Google, Lacework, In-Q-Tel, and the federal cyber community.
Randall Scott Avenell
Founder & CEO. STACK Vault began with one conviction: trust should be a system, not an accident.
Randall Scott Avenell (Randall Avenell)
Randall founded STACK Vault to make trust explicit at the foundation of modern systems. He has spent his career building secure platforms across cloud, identity, and compliance — and started STACK Vault to give teams a single source of truth for who can access what, and why. As Founder & CEO, he leads product direction and the engineering culture behind the platform.
