Cassie Christensen, Client Solutions Director, Saviynt

Cassie Christensen is a seasoned identity security practitioner who helps organizations fix what is broken in their identity programs by focusing first on people and process, then on technology. With experience guiding customers through complex identity challenges across enterprise environments, Cassie has a reputation for turning strategy into executable action, building trust with stakeholders, and helping teams find clarity in the face of ambiguity — skills that are as critical as technical solutions in successful identity outcomes.

In her work, Cassie connects deeply with customers to understand their real problems, translate them into practical plans, and guide execution in a way that aligns business needs with security goals. Her strength lies not in abstract frameworks, but in the lived experience of helping teams move forward when they feel stuck — listening to concerns, asking the right questions, and driving progress that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences.

Cassie is passionate about helping practitioners survive and thrive in identity work, equipping them with the tools, perspectives, and confidence to lead meaningful change. Outside of customer engagements, she contributes to community discussions on identity security and what it truly takes to operationalize successful programs.
