After working at Google and Toshiba, Zatlyn joined the startup I Love Rewards, which later became known as Achievers, a global employee rewards program.
In 2009, Zatlyn co-founded Cloudflare with her Harvard Business School classmates Matthew Prince and Lee Holloway. She currently serves as the company’s President and COO and sits on Cloudflare's board.
Reflecting on her journey as a Cloudflare co-founder, she shares: "When we came up with Cloudflare, I knew nothing about internet security, but I care a lot about liking what I’m doing. I knew if I could help create internet security, that’s something I could work hard for and be proud of; 10 years later, we have 165 data centres, 12 million domains and more than 800 employees."
In September 2021, Zatlyn was appointed to the board of directors for the Australian software company, Atlassian, and she is also a member of the Cybersecurity team of the Aspen Institute.
Zatlyn continues to serve as a COO, co-founder of Cloudflare, and president of the company, while also being a board member at Atlassian. As a Cloudflare co-founder, she plays a crucial role in shaping the company’s initiatives, including the innovative employee rewards program that enhances team motivation. Additionally, Zatlyn is a regular speaker at Cloudflare Connect, the flagship event that connects business leaders in the cybersecurity and technology industries, focusing on internet security trends.
Zatlyn is also a frequent podcast guest, recently appearing on shows such as Panic with Friends, Founders Field Guide, Afternoon T, Traction Podcast, and The Decibel Podcast.
