Dragos, a cybersecurity company for OT enviroments, has announced the appointment of Eric Cross as Chief Revenue Officer. In this role, Cross will lead all global go-to-market functions, including sales, customer success, partner and channel ecosystems, and marketing.
Cross joins Dragons with more than 20 years of experience leading high-performing revenue teams and scaling revenue operations at some of the world’s fast-growing technology and cybersecurity companies, including Reltio, Appian, Apigee, Google Cloud, and more. At Apigee, Cross led growth through the company’s IPO and subsequent acquisition by Google.
“Eric is a proven go-to-market leader who knows how to scale organisations, serve customers, and build lasting enterprise relationships,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Dragos. “As OT cybersecurity becomes a board-level priority across sectors, Eric’s leadership will help us meet our customers where they are in their OT cybersecurity journey while accelerating our global reach and impact.”
Cross’ appointment comes at a time of strong momentum for Dragos. The company was named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Protection Platforms, recognised for both its completeness of vision and ability to execute. Dragos continues to expand its presence across energy, manufacturing, transportation, and other critical infrastructure sectors, with a growing partner ecosystem and a customer base that includes many of the world’s largest industrial organisations.
“Dragos stands out not just for its market leadership, but for its mission-driven approach to protecting critical infrastructure — the human, societal, and community impact resonates deeply with me,” said Cross. “This is a pivotal time for industrial cybersecurity and Dragos is a company with a clear vision, world-class customers, and the opportunity to make an impact that truly matters. I’m thrilled to help lead the next phase of growth.”
Earlier this month, Dragos released the 2025 OT Security Financial Risk Report, based on a study conducted by Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Center, estimating that global OT cyber losses could reach up to $329.5 billion in a year with a severe but plausible scenario. The report emphasises the escalating financial and operational risks facing industrial organisations and the urgent need for OT cybersecurity that can help them reduce risk and protect industrial infrastructure.
