Mujeeb Khan
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Mujeeb Khan is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Suricat, where he defines the vision and operating model for the Compliance Intelligence Platform category. He brings over 20 years of leadership across enterprise software, cybersecurity, and applied AI, focusing on systems that operate reliably under regulatory, security, and audit constraints....
Prior to Suricat, Mujeeb held leadership roles at Google Cloud, Splunk, Check Point, and Proofpoint, guiding global enterprises through the deployment of mission-critical platforms where correctness and governance are non-negotiable. Most recently, as Chief Revenue Officer at eForte, he worked closely with Regulatory Affairs and Quality teams across fintech and life sciences organizations navigating increasing compliance complexity.
Mujeeb founded Suricat after observing a structural failure across regulated life sciences environments where QMS and document systems excel at storage but lack the intelligence required to reason across documentation and sustain continuous audit readiness. Under his leadership, Suricat operates as a neutral, advisory intelligence layer that surfaces risk and enables regulatory teams to focus on judgment rather than manual reconciliation.
A graduate of the University of San Francisco with executive training in innovation from Stanford University, Mujeeb leads Suricat's mission to transform compliance from a reactive obligation into a strategic enterprise capability that is continuous, explainable, and intelligence-driven.
