Tal Marom is Co-Founder and CPO at Oak, an AI-native Identity Operating System built to replace the fragmented stack of legacy identity governance tools across enterprise environments.

Tal previously served as a product team lead at Tenable following its $265M acquisition of Ermetic, and held senior product roles at Salesforce and in the Israeli military.

Tal championed a research-first approach, personally engaging over 100 CISOs and IAM leaders before a single line of code was written, ensuring Oak was built on real enterprise pain points.

At Oak, Tal co-leads a 50-person team backed by a $60M seed round from Accel, Greylock Partners, and CRV, with the platform already generally available and deployed across enterprise customers.

Oak exited stealth in July 2026 with one of the largest seed rounds in Israeli cybersecurity history, and is set to showcase its technology at Black Hat USA, signaling rapid momentum in the identity security market.
