Professional Journey

Meritt spent more than thirty years at Oracle Corporation. ARCON’s account of that period is that she led global engineering and product teams and played a significant role in shaping Oracle’s identity offerings across identity governance, privileged access management and cloud-based identity services. Her specific titles and dates at Oracle are not recorded here because no first-party source for them could be read.

She then joined ARCON, which Anil Bhandari founded in 2006 and where he now serves as Chief Mentor. The company started out managing privileged identities for regulated enterprises. It launched its first enterprise privileged access management platform in 2010 and built a strong base in banking and financial services. From 2015 it expanded across the Middle East, APAC and Africa, and in 2019 it began to govern human, privileged and machine identities together. By 2026 it was describing its product as an identity security fabric, with human, machine and AI agent identities under one control plane. It lists offices in Houston, Mumbai, London, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Riyadh and Berlin.

As President, Product & Strategy, Meritt is responsible for that product convergence globally. ARCON describes her as working closely with customers and partners worldwide, with particular depth in identity governance, privileged access management, non-human identity security and the access problems created by AI agents and machine identities.
