ON Partners Recruits CISO for Bill.com 

March 22, 2022 – Increasingly, organizations of all sizes are awakening to the perils posed by cyberattacks. For years, many groups tried to ignore the problem, dismissing cybersecurity as a concern only for the biggest, most high-profile entities, be they government or corporate. These days, more groups are coming to understand how ruinous such intrusions could be. This has led to a dramatic rise in the demand for cybersecurity executives and search firms in this sector continuing to grow.

Executive recruitment firm ON Partners recently assisted in the placement of Rinki Sethi as vice president and chief information security officer (CISO) of Bill.com, a provider of cloud-based software. Spearheading the assignment was partner John Morrow. Ms. Sethi will lead the global information security and technology functions, overseeing the protection of Bill.com’s customer, partner, and employee data assets, and will advise the company on continued innovations in the security and technology space. She will report to Vinay Pai, senior vice president of engineering. “With Bill.com’s rapid growth and recent acquisitions of Divvy and Invoice2go, Rinki’s distinguished career and security credentials will bring tremendous value to the company,” said Mr. Pai. “I have known Rinki professionally for a long time, and her leadership as Bill.com’s vice president and chief information security officer will be instrumental in further enhancing Bill.com’s secure and robust software platform.”

Strong Experience

Ms. Sethi has more than two decades of security and technology leadership expertise and was most recently vice president and chief information security officer at Twitter and Rubrik Inc. Her career has placed her on the forefront of developing cutting edge online security infrastructure at several Fortune 500 companies including IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Intuit, eBay, Walmart.com, and PG&E. She serves on the board of ForgeRock, a public company in the identity and access management space and on the board of OneProsper International, a non-profit dedicated to empowering girls in rural India to attend school.

“I’m honored to be part of the mission to help SMBs run their businesses easily and securely,” said Ms. Sethi. “I’ve seen first-hand the passion of small business owners and the challenges they face. Bill.com’s innovative vision inspires me, and I’m eager to help our customers streamline their financial operations.”
