GrammaTech, a leading provider of advanced AI and cybersecurity solutions, has appointed Dr. Lucja Kot as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The move follows the company's continued expansion in cybersecurity capabilities and its efforts to integrate AI into software assurance and cybersecurity.

Dr. Kot, who previously served as GrammaTech's Vice President of Research, brings extensive experience in cybersecurity, software assurance, and computer science. She has led advanced research and development programs and translated innovative research into practical capabilities. Dr. Kot holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University and is poised to lead GrammaTech as it advances technologies that help government and commercial organizations secure, analyze, and modernize critical software systems.

"Lucja is uniquely suited to lead GrammaTech into its next chapter," said Ken Clark, a member of GrammaTech's Board of Directors. "She understands both the complexity of the research we do and what it takes to turn that research into practical software capabilities that address real government needs. Her technical expertise, leadership, and experience working with our government partners make her the right person to expand the impact of GrammaTech's technology."

Dr. Kot's appointment comes at a time when GrammaTech is expanding its cybersecurity capabilities, advancing its work at the intersection of AI, software assurance, and cybersecurity, and growing its government and commercial partnerships. "I am excited to step into the CEO role at GrammaTech at an important point in the company's evolution," said Dr. Kot. "The company has an exceptional history of solving difficult software and cybersecurity challenges. As AI changes how software is developed and the cybersecurity threats organizations face, we have an opportunity to apply our deep research expertise to help build and secure the next generation of critical systems. I look forward to working with the GrammaTech team to build on that foundation, strengthen our partnerships, and bring our technologies to more organizations facing critical security and modernization challenges."

The transition comes as GrammaTech continues to position itself for future growth and innovation. The company's mission to secure and modernize mission-critical software through advanced technologies for software analysis, binary transformation, cybersecurity automation, vulnerability assessment, AI-enabled software and security analysis, and cyber resilience remains central. Dr. Kot's appointment is seen as a strategic move to further this mission and capitalize on emerging technologies and market opportunities.
