Satnam is an incredible researcher with a knack for seeing things differently and solving complex problems. He made our team reach new levels, growing us from a fledgling team to a world class Security Response Team.
Satnam's superpower is his ability to collaborate with teammates across a range of disciplines — from engineering to PR and marketing — to produce content that educates, engages and inspires.
Satnam may have single-handedly replaced dozens of Symantec bloggers, producing close to 50% of our page views through his timely blogs.
Legacy and Impact
Philanthropic Endeavors
Fostering the next generation of tech leaders through the Satnam Singh Narang Endowed Information Systems Scholarship at Cal State Fullerton.
Guided by the Sikh principle of Vand Chhako (sharing with others), I support various charitable organizations annually through a personal Seva fund.
Angel Investing
As a solo Limited Partner (LP), my primary investment thesis targets startups leveraging technology "for the greater good." Separately, I also identify and back promising high-growth companies across diverse sectors.
Portfolio highlights include Tall Poppy (online harassment protection) and Ghost Town Oats.
Personal Pursuits
Poetry and Music
For over three decades, poetry and hip-hop have been core creative outlets for me. This journey includes releasing a hip-hop album and more than a deacde performing at various open mics in LA, SF and NY.
I'm currently preparing my debut poetry collection, "Tangerine." Explore more creative work at satn.am.
Coffee Enthusiasm
More than just caffeine, coffee has been a source of joy and discovery, particularly through exploring new shops and savoring well-crafted lattes during various life chapters.
This passion extends home, where I'm dedicated to honing the craft, from pulling the perfect espresso shot to practicing latte art.
