Verkada, a pioneer in enterprise building security and management, announced Elizabeth Davies has joined as Chief Privacy Officer. Davies will oversee Verkada's privacy and government affairs programs as the company continues to expand its product offerings and operations globally.

Davies was most recently at Splunk, where she served as its Global Head of Data Protection and its Data Protection Officer, and built its privacy program from the ground up. Prior to Splunk, Davies was Senior Legal Counsel at Advent Software and General Counsel at New Generation Computing.
