About Ashish Sangar

I’m an engineer turned business strategist. I’ve spent the last 13+ years navigating the fast-paced worlds of IT, telecom infrastructure, media and cybersecurity across APAC, EMEA, and the UK. Along the way, I’ve grown not just professionally, but personally. I’m deeply passionate about history, geopolitics, photography, and sports. Something slightly out of the ordinary: I am a national-level Karate competitor and a Black Belt. Competing at that level taught me an incredible amount about discipline, focus, and pushing past perceived limits, traits that translate surprisingly well to managing high-stakes enterprise portfolios and navigating complex boardroom dynamics. Outside of the dojo and the office, I also serve as a member of local Voluntary Blood Donation Camps NGO, helping them organizing community initiatives. My professional journey has led me to explore the intersection of AI and business scale. Recently, I was a finalist in a corporate Promptathon for developing GenAI workflow automations, an experience that cemented my belief in working smarter and leveraging AI to solve scale problems. I also help founders and scale-ups build their post-sales engines, establish resilient retention strategies, and drive digital transformation. What I do nowToday, I’m proud to be an Enterprise Customer Success Manager at Netskope, managing a $5M ACV portfolio across the APAC region. What keeps me energized here is the opportunity to help organizations navigate their digital transformations and truly secure their environments in a world where threats are constantly evolving. Netskope delivers the critical security infrastructure for the modern, work-from-anywhere era. We help organizations protect data and defend against threats in cloud, web, and private applications by delivering outcomes that matter- Zero Trust Architecture: Ensuring users have secure, fast access to what they need, without exposing the corporate network- Platform Consolidation: Simplifying complex, legacy security stacks into a single, unified platform- Cyber Resilience: Helping businesses maintain robust security postures, mitigate risks proactively, and ensure they are ready for the AI-driven future.
