Darktrace, a global provider of AI for cybersecurity, has hired Terry Doyle as chief information officer (CIO). In this role, Doyle will establish and lead a newly consolidated enterprise IT and data function, uniting technology services across the business to support company growth. He’ll be responsible for building enterprise-scale technology systems and data capabilities, the company said. Doyle will be based in Darktrace’s London office and report to Suman Raju, CFO.
“Terry is a proven CIO with deep experience building and scaling enterprise technology in complex, high-growth environments,” said Jill Popelka, CEO of Darktrace. “Over the past year, we’ve moved fast to strengthen the systems and processes that underpin our business. The next phase of our journey will provide data and insights to operate with greater speed, consistency and discipline as we scale. Terry brings the right mix of strategic leadership and hands-on execution to help us do exactly that.”
Doyle joins Darktrace with nearly 30 years of experience leading large-scale technology transformations across global organizations. Most recently, he served as group CIO at Team Internet Group, where he led an international technology function spanning 12 countries. He previously held senior CIO roles at RWS and GroupM.
“Darktrace has built extraordinary momentum and has a huge opportunity ahead as the cybersecurity landscape evolves and the emergence of enterprise AI dramatically expands attack surfaces,” Doyle said. “My focus will be on strengthening our enterprise technology foundations, data governance and visibility to help the business scale with consistency and confidence.”
Doyle’s appointment follows multiple senior executive hires Darktrace has made over the past year, including Raju as CFO, Hein Hellemons as chief revenue officer, and Bryce Cote as chief customer officer.
