Mountain View, California, September 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital workplace platform company Omnissa today announced the appointment of Amit Singh as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Singh brings over 35 years of experience helping build some of the world’s most influential enterprise technology platforms, including serving as President of Palo Alto Networks and as co-founder and President of Google Cloud. He succeeds Shankar Iyer, who recently stepped down as CEO to pursue other opportunities.
“I am thrilled to join Omnissa at such a pivotal moment for the company and the industry,” said Amit Singh, CEO of Omnissa. “Omnissa has firmly established itself as a clear leader in digital workspace technology, with a world-class platform, an exceptional team, and a customer base that includes some of the world’s most demanding enterprises. The shift toward agentic AI is transforming how work gets done, and endpoints are at the heart of this transformation. I look forward to leading this team to continue innovating and delivering products that help our customers and partners manage and secure work in this new era.”
Omnissa stated that it is the clear leader in the rapidly growing digital workspace and endpoint management market, serving over 15,000 enterprise customers and tens of millions of endpoints. The company’s platform encompasses unified endpoint management, virtual desktops and applications, digital employee experience, and endpoint security, and recently ranked first in all four use cases in Gartner’s inaugural Endpoint Management Tools 2026 report. Omnissa has also recently launched a new suite of AI-first innovative products to provide customers with greater visibility and control in increasingly autonomous workspaces.
As AI agents redefine how work gets done in enterprises and endpoints become critical security control planes, Singh brings the experience and vision to build on Omnissa’s strong foundation and help define the era of agentic endpoints.
“In the next year, every laptop and smartphone managed by enterprise IT will become an agentic endpoint, running dozens of AI agents that act on behalf of the individuals they represent, with their identities and permissions,” added Singh. “The last time a new participant arrived uninvited in the form of phones and personal devices, enterprises extended their existing management platforms rather than rebuilding a new one. Agents represent a similar shift. Omnissa already has agents, credentials, traffic, telemetry, and remediation capabilities on devices; our task now is to extend all of this to agents, enabling CIOs and CISOs to confidently say ‘yes.’”
Angad Singh, Co-Head of KKR’s North American Software Private Equity and a member of Omnissa’s Board, said: “Amit helped build two of the most iconic enterprise platforms over the past two decades. Omnissa manages the devices where enterprise work happens. As AI agents increasingly take on these tasks and every company considers how to safely leverage AI technology, the company is uniquely positioned. Amit is the right leader to help Omnissa seize this tremendous opportunity.”
Amit Singh recently served as President of Palo Alto Networks. During his tenure, the company’s market capitalization grew fivefold, launched multiple new billion-dollar businesses, and became the world’s first cybersecurity company to reach a $100 billion market cap. Prior to this, Singh spent nearly a decade at Google, where he co-founded and served as President of Google Cloud. His career began at Oracle, where he spent over twenty years in roles spanning product, engineering, sales, and strategy. Singh is also the founder of abovecloud9.ai, which partners with the Art of Living Foundation to use AI to expand access to meditation and mental health programs. He holds a Master’s degree in Industrial and Management Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering.
