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.

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 joins Darktrace with nearly 30 years of experience leading large-scale technology transformations across global organizations. Most recently, he served as Group CIO at Team Internet Group, a leading domain name monetization and digital advertising group, where he led a global technology function spanning 12 countries.
Previously, Doyle held senior CIO roles at RWS, the world’s leading provider of technology-enabled language, content management and intellectual property services, and at GroupM, WPP’s global media investment arm. Across these roles, he led complex global and regional transformation programs supporting thousands of users and multi-million-dollar technology budgets.
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. Together, these additions underscore Darktrace’s continued investment in experienced leadership to support operational scale, deepen customer value, and deliver sustainable long-term growth.
“Darktrace has built extraordinary momentum and has a huge opportunity ahead as the cybersecurity landscape evolves and the emergence of enterprise AI dramatically expands attack surfaces,” said Terry Doyle, CIO of Darktrace. “My focus will be on strengthening our enterprise technology foundations, data governance and visibility to help the business scale with consistency and confidence, and seize that opportunity.”
