About Varun Grover

Lead with clarity. Build with purpose. Deliver with grace. I am a business marketing leader operating at the intersection of AI, security, and SaaS, focused on turning complex technology into adoption, revenue, and durable enterprise categories. At Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK), I serve as the GM-aligned marketing leader for the SaaS and AI business, owning go-to-market strategy, narrative, and business performance across a $200M+ ARR portfolio. My role spans strategy definition upstream and execution downstream, partnering closely with Product, Sales, and Engineering to scale Rubrik’s highest-growth engines. I helped define Rubrik’s transformation into The Security and AI Operations Company by unifying AI, SaaS, and Identity under a single enterprise motion: Resilience for Everything. Selected Impact - Rubrik AI: Positioned Rubrik as an agentic platform for cyber resilience.

My work reaches large enterprise audiences organically, with 1M+ LinkedIn impressions and 1.5M+ YouTube views, and I’ve been recognized by LinkedIn as a Top Voice for sustained thought leadership and community impact. Before Rubrik, I led enterprise AI go-to-market at Veritas (now Cohesity) and built high-impact marketing engines across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups, including Octane, where I served as Director of Product Marketing and acting Head of Marketing.
