SentinelOne appoints Sonalee Parekh as Chief Financial Officer

SentinelOne has appointed Sonalee Parekh as its Chief Financial Officer, effective March 24, 2026, as the AI-native cybersecurity company looks to strengthen its financial leadership during a phase of rapid growth.

Parekh will oversee the company’s global financial operations, including financial planning and analysis, accounting, tax and treasury, internal audit, and investor relations. Barry Padgett will continue to serve as Interim CFO until Parekh assumes the role, leading the company’s upcoming fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 earnings report to ensure a smooth transition.

Parekh brings more than 25 years of experience across public software and technology companies. Most recently, she served as CFO at Asana, where she led the global finance organisation and helped advance the company’s multi-product, AI-first strategy while improving profitability.

Prior to that, she was CFO at RingCentral, where she played a key role in scaling the business to more than $2 billion in annual recurring revenue and improving margins through financial discipline. She has also held senior finance leadership roles at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, including Divisional CFO and Head of Corporate Development and Investor Relations.

“Sonalee’s proven track record of scaling global software organisations and driving financial discipline makes her the perfect fit to lead SentinelOne’s next phase of profitable growth,” said Tomer Weingarten, CEO of SentinelOne.

Parekh added, “SentinelOne is uniquely positioned at the convergence of two powerful secular megatrends, AI and cybersecurity. The company has built a differentiated AI-native platform and a strong financial foundation. I am excited to partner with Tomer and the leadership team to advance SentinelOne’s mission, accelerate growth, expand margins, deepen investor engagement, and deliver sustained long-term value for our shareholders.”
