Nudge Security, an Austin-based SaaS and AI security governance platform, has appointed Patrick Dillon as its first Chief Revenue Officer. Dillon will drive the company’s revenue cycle, lead global sales, customer success, and the partner ecosystem as Nudge Security enters its next phase of growth.
Dillon brings over two decades of experience in go-to-market strategy across cybersecurity, SaaS, and enterprise software, with a specialization in scaling organizations from early-stage growth to $150 million in revenue. He most recently served as CRO at AirlockDigital, where he helped scale the Australian cybersecurity company globally. He has also held senior roles at Saviynt, BeyondTrust, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Since launching in October 2022, Nudge Security has tripled ARR for two consecutive years, onboarded over 200 customers, and delivered more than 150 product enhancements. The company recently released new AI agent discovery capabilities enabling security teams to find, assess, and govern AI agents as employees deploy them. The platform addresses a growing enterprise challenge around the proliferation of AI tools, SaaS applications, and non-human identities accessing corporate data.
KEY QUOTES:
“Our rapid growth reflects the urgent demand for scalable security and governance of workforce AI and SaaS use. Patrick’s deep cybersecurity expertise and proven track record in building and scaling technology companies make him the perfect addition to our leadership team as we embark on the next chapter of our expansion.”
Russell Spitler, Co-Founder and CEO, Nudge Security
“In a market crowded by the noise of ‘AI everywhere,’ Nudge Security stands out with a clarifying approach to the attack surface. Effective AI governance begins and ends with visibility. While most legacy solutions are limited to what is inside their known ecosystem, Nudge Security provides the visibility to see what lies beyond it and enforce policies to manage and secure AI use.”
