McKinnon is No. 42 on the Recode 100.

Every company is in the cloud or is moving there. So who helps these companies manage all their cloud stuff?

That’s Okta, which Todd McKinnon helped found in 2009 and took public this year in one of the market’s smoother public offerings. The enterprise services company is now worth over $2.5 billion and it’s business is growing.

Bucking another trend in Silicon Valley, McKinnon and the rest of the leadership team at Okta are teaching their employees by example how tech workers can be good citizens.
