Rita Gurevich is the CEO and founder of SPHERE, leading the strategic growth and vision for the organization.

Rita began her career at Lehman Brothers and helped oversee the distribution of technology assets after their bankruptcy in 2008. From this, Rita gained a deep understanding in analyzing identities, data platforms, and overall application and system landscape that had to be distributed across all the buying entities. At the same time, the enhanced regulatory environment focusing on protecting data from misuse, forced large enterprises to manage and control access more proactively across their on-premises and cloud environments.

With this knowledge, Gurevich founded SPHERE, an identity hygiene organization that provides critical discovery, security and compliance solutions centered around identity security and access control problems that organizations face. The company has developed a repeatable and effective approach to automating the discovery, remediation, and management of access controls across any scope. Rita has overseen the growth of SPHERE into a leading software company providing its clients with the only end-to-end identity hygiene solution available today.
