Darktrace, a global leader in AI for cybersecurity, today announced the appointment of Terry Doyle as Chief Information Officer (CIO), joining the company’s executive committee.
As CIO, Doyle will establish and lead a newly consolidated enterprise IT and data function, bringing together technology services across the business into a cohesive operating model to support Darktrace’s continued global growth. He will be responsible for building enterprise-scale technology systems and data capabilities that enable the business to operate with greater consistency and confidence as it scales. Doyle will be based in Darktrace’s London office, reporting to Suman Raju, Chief Financial Officer.
“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’s appointment further strengthens Darktrace’s leadership team following a series of senior executive hires over the past year, including Suman Raju as Chief Financial Officer, Hein Hellemons as Chief Revenue Officer, and Bryce Cote as Chief Customer Officer.
