Singapore – Cellebrite has appointed Rogerio Rizzi as Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development, tasking him with building out the company’s strategy and development capabilities.

The Nasdaq-listed digital investigative and intelligence provider announced the appointment on 5 November 2026. Rizzi, an engineer by training, joins from Okta, Inc., where he established the Corporate Strategy team.

Cellebrite says Rizzi has more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of technology and strategy, advising leaders on AI, technology and growth. At Okta, he ran the growth strategy for six years and charted the company’s path to $3 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR).

He also served as a close advisor to Okta’s leadership team, where he developed the decision framework that aligned the company’s functions around that plan.

“Rogerio and I worked together at Okta, and I have seen firsthand how he develops a growth strategy and a decision framework that accelerates growth and moves a leadership team forward in alignment,” said Shiv Ramji, CEO of Cellebrite. 

“He is bringing that same rigor, along with deep experience in AI, technology and M&A, to Cellebrite. We are charting an ambitious growth path together to better serve our customers,” Ramji added.

Rizzi’s earlier roles span several large technology and consulting firms. He led Corporate Strategy at SAP SE, where he drove platform consolidation and set strategy for the company’s cloud, platform and emerging technology businesses, including AI and machine learning.

He then served as a vice president at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, leading corporate strategy and advising the CEO, Executive Committee and Board of Directors. Earlier still, he spent 10 years as a partner at Monitor Group, a strategy consultancy, where he co-led the Chicago and São Paulo offices.

“I’m thrilled to join Cellebrite and help Shiv and the team lead with a targeted, bold strategy that amplifies our value to all key stakeholders and accelerates our growth,” said Rizzi.

“Cellebrite leads its space with real trust and credibility, and the demand is clear and growing everywhere.” Rizzi also brings a personal view of the mission. “I grew up in Brazil, where safety on the streets is a serious concern. The fastest way I see to address those problems is through access to effective technology. The faster we deploy our solutions, the safer the world becomes,” Rizzi added.
