SAN JOSE, Calif., April 10, 2025 — ColorTokens Inc., a global leader in enterprise microsegmentation, today announced the appointment of C.P. Gurnani to its Advisory Board. Former CEO and Managing Director of Tech Mahindra and current co-founder of AIonOS, Gurnani brings four decades of enterprise transformation and innovation expertise to advance ColorTokens’ breach-ready mission. He has also held senior leadership roles at leading global technology firms including Hewlett Packard, Perot Systems, and HCL Corporation.

This unique blend of deep enterprise experience and forward-looking AI leadership will be instrumental in accelerating ColorTokens’ growth and cybersecurity innovation across markets. “Enterprises today face an unprecedented range of cyber risks, and too many are still operating reactively,” said Gurnani. “I am delighted to join the advisory board of ColorTokens because their approach to security is rooted in proactive protection, not just response. Their Zero Trust model delivers real-time visibility and control, helping organizations stay ahead of threats. With my background in enterprise transformation and my current focus on enabling AI-native businesses, I look forward to supporting the team as they scale this critical technology across industries.”

Gurnani will provide strategic counsel to the executive leadership team and help drive global expansion.
