Dr. John Pritchard is Chief Executive Officer of Radiant Logic, the identity security platform trusted by 30% of the Fortune 500 and 60% of U.S. Cabinet-level agencies. He stepped into the CEO role in January 2025 after joining Radiant Logic in 2022 as Chief Product Officer, where he led the company’s evolution from a virtual directory provider into an AI-driven Identity Security Posture Management platform that unifies, observes, and acts on human, non-human, and agentic AI identities.
John is the architect of the Three Identity Problem framework, the uncontrolled inheritance chain that forms across human, non-human, and agentic AI identities in the modern enterprise. His work reframes identity security as an observability problem and is shifting the center of gravity from authentication to authorization, governance, and lifecycle across the full identity chain.
Prior to Radiant Logic, John held senior product and engineering roles at Okta, Adobe, and IBM. Under his leadership, Radiant Logic was recognized in three Gartner categories in 2025, including Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms and AI for Access Administration, and earned Gold in the 2026 Globee Cybersecurity Awards (IAM) and Silver in the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards (ISPM).
