“We’re excited to bring Van’s blend of strategic foresight and operational excellence to Armexa. The growth we’ve experienced in such a short time is a testament to our small but highly experienced team’s capabilities in OT cybersecurity, and we’re confident Van will take our business operations and systems to the next level as we continue to expand,” said Jacob Marzloff, Armexa co-founder and CEO.

His expertise in strategic recruiting, executive team building, and P&L management are invaluable assets for Armexa’s growth trajectory.

“My career really started in OT and ICS, so to join a company with an OT cybersecurity focus at this point in my career is exciting and truly brings it full circle,” Wilson said. “My credentials and credibility may come from the operations side, but I’ve always had a deep appreciation and affinity for what happens in the field. I’m honored with this opportunity to help Armexa continue to build and grow.”

Wilson’s commitment to developing internal systems, processes and policies will enhance Armexa’s ability to provide unparalleled support to its clients.
