The Palo Alto, California-based cloud data management company announced its appointment of in-house veteran Peter McGoff as CLO and Jeff Vijungco as chief people officer in a press release Tuesday . "Rubrik has achieved unprecedented growth in the last four years and we continue to invest in key talent as we enter our next chapter," said Bipul Sinha, Rubrik's co-founder and chief executive officer, in the announcement. "Peter and Jeff are proven leaders with experience scaling hyper-growth companies and developing world-class teams." In an interview Tuesday, McGoff said he's looking forward to the challenges that will come with working at Rubrik. “[Rubrik] is a data management company, and that's super exciting for me,” he told Corporate Counsel. “That's the Wild West, with GDPR and the many different compliance regimes focusing on data.” It's not McGoff's first time at a fast-paced cloud computing company. He joins Rubrik after more than six years at cloud content management and file sharing service Box. At Box, McGoff served as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary from April 2012 to November 2017 before becoming the company's CLO. In those roles he led the legal, information security and compliance teams. He also led Box through an IPO in 2015, helping the company earn The Recorder's 2015 Legal Department of Year award for both litigation and data security , along the way. That's an experience that will likely help him at Rubrik—Sinha said in 2017 that he expected his company to go public within “two or three years.” In February 2017, Rubrik brought on its first chief financial officer, veteran finance executive Murray Demo , who led Atlassian Corp.'s IPO , a further sign that an offering could be on the way. In Tuesday's press release, Rubrik said McGoff will lead the company's global legal and compliance functions, with a focus on expanding into international markets and developing a compliance and governance framework. “[I] built out the compliance team at Informatica and Box. That's an area I pride myself on, finding the right leaders, and right set of lawyers,” McGoff said. “That will be critical, especially in this year, as we're growing at a pretty crazy pace.” Prior to Box, McGoff landed his first general counsel role at Informatica, a Redwood City, California-based software development company where he spent nearly 12 years, according to his LinkedIn page . According to his profile, he has also served as corporate counsel for Omnicell Technologies, as a corporate securities and IP associate for Manatt, Phelps & Phillips and as a contract attorney for Genentech Inc. McGoff holds a J.D. from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, and an LL.M from the London School of Economics.
