Randall Scott Avenell

Founder & CEO. Stack Vault began with one conviction: trust should be a system, not an accident.

Randall Scott Avenell (Randall Avenell)

Randall founded Stack Vault to make trust explicit at the foundation of modern systems. He has spent his career building secure platforms across cloud, identity, and compliance — and started Stack Vault to give teams a single source of truth for who can access what, and why. As Founder & CEO, he leads product direction and the engineering culture behind the platform.
