Spektrum Labs Names Mark Cravotta Chief Operating Officer to Scale Cyber Resilience Offerings

Published

on

Cybersecurity growth veteran Cravotta bets on cyber resilience as the new benchmark, on the only platform built to prove it continuously

CARMEL, Ind., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spektrum Labs, the leader in AI-first cyber resilience, today announced the appointment of Mark Cravotta as chief operating officer (COO). A 25-year industry veteran, he is known for building scalable operating models and for applying data-driven and AI-enabled approaches to growth and execution. Cravotta joins Spektrum to fuel the company’s launch of cyber resilience as the definitive future of the cybersecurity market.

Cravotta’s appointment arrives at a critical juncture for the industry. In its Predicts 2026: Cybersecurity Program Rebrands to Cyber Resilience1 report, Gartner estimates that “By 2028, half of CISOs will formally rebrand their cybersecurity program as cyber resilience programs.” Spektrum is positioned as the foundational infrastructure for this transition, moving organizations beyond checkboxes to cryptographic proof of their operational state.

Cravotta brings a deep track record of scaling high-growth technology and security companies. He joins Spektrum Labs after serving as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at CoreView, an Insight Partners’ portfolio company, where he drove revenue execution across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Prior to that, he was CRO at Keeper Security, another Insight Partners company specializing in password and privileged access management. There, he headed up global revenue, managed service partner (MSP) and partner channels. He also served as CRO at Crypsis Digital Security, a digital forensics and incident response consultancy that he helped lead through acquisition by Palo Alto Networks.

As COO, Cravotta will oversee Spektrum’s operational execution and global go-to-market strategy, ensuring the company’s Fusion platform remains the single source of proof for cyber resilience across enterprises, private equity firms, and insurance partners.

Cravotta joins a power-packed leadership team with deep experience covering all stakeholders and channels in the cyber resilience ecosystem, including enterprise CISOs, cybersecurity product and service providers, insurers, private equity (PE) firms, and auditors. 

J.J. Thompson, CEO and founder, Spektrum Labs, said: “Mark’s expertise in scaling high-growth, PE-backed companies through channel-first go-to-market is exactly what Spektrum needs right now. We invented the provable cyber resilience category and launched a platform that unifies the siloed pillars of cybersecurity, continuity, and insurance into one ecosystem built for the agentic era. We didn’t go to market—the market pulled us out of stealth: private equity firms protecting their portfolios, cybersecurity vendors, brokers, and insurers. Mark will lead our ability to scale into that demand through national channel partners while building the internal engine to support it.”

Mark Cravotta, COO, Spektrum Labs, said: “I’ve spent my career helping grow larger, later-stage SaaS companies, so joining Spektrum was a deliberate choice. The market doesn’t need another security tool with AI bolted on as an afterthought and many existing companies will not be able to adapt. Cyber resilience is the new benchmark—and in a landscape where entire security models can be infiltrated within minutes using AI, continuous measurement isn’t just critical; it’s essential. Spektrum Labs is uniquely positioned to proactively drive and validate true resilience. The platform is built from the ground up to address today’s unique security challenges. I am excited to work with the team on GTM market strategy and execution with the goal of getting this mission-critical platform deployed globally at scale.”

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
