In this episode, I interview Tanium CMO Steve Daheb.



Like just every great story, we begin by meeting the protagonist. In business, the person responsible for a company's brand is often the Chief Marketing Officer, and our hero is Steve.



We discussed his backstory and the possibilities he saw in Tanium from the outside. He's now using that outsider's lens to create a new twist in the Tanium story arc.

One of the biggest things he has undertaken is to answer the question, what do you do when your company doesn't fit into existing categories? — You create a new one! Steve shares why the time for Converged Endpoint Management (XEM) has come.


As Chief Marketing Officer at Tanium, Steve Daheb leads the global marketing and communications functions and is responsible for driving Tanium’s brand momentum, adoption, demand creation and growth.

A highly respected industry leader, Daheb has served in both private and public companies. Prior to joining Tanium in November of 2021, he served as Chief Marketing Officer at ON24, where he helped lead the company through its IPO in February 2021.

Previously, Daheb served for over five years as the Senior Vice President (SVP) of Oracle Cloud Go-To-Market, where he was responsible for driving the global growth of Oracle Cloud, including Oracle Cloud Platform services and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. His responsibilities include full go-to-market strategy and execution to achieve top-line growth of Oracle’s cloud business, which is now a multi-billion-dollar business. He also led Oracle Global Communications, spanning all products, industries and corporate level comms.

Daheb has also held Chief Marketing Officer roles at Citrix, Blue Coat Systems (acquired by Symantec) and Emulex (acquired by Broadcom).

Dehab holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Davis and a Juris Doctor from Santa Clara University, School of Law.
