Emile Parkin is the Head of Identity and Access Management (IAM) at Zalando, where he leads a talented team of engineers towards ambitious goals in the IAM space. With over 20 years of experience in information security, Emile is deeply passionate about IAM and has led several large-scale deployments and transformations within multinational companies.
Emile’s mission is to build IAM services that prioritize the user experience, rather than treating it as an afterthought. These services must be secure, compliant, efficient, automated, and user-friendly. To achieve this, Emile has worked to reshape perceptions of IAM, redefined how it is deployed, and, in many cases, adopted new technologies.
