Parry Labs Names Scott DeVona as Chief Revenue Officer

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Parry Labs, a defense technology company based in Alexandria, Virginia, has appointed Scott DeVona as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). DeVona's extensive experience in securing major contracts for defense software and driving revenue growth will guide Parry Labs' strategy as it meets the increasing demand for interoperable systems at the tactical edge.

Scott DeVona brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having spent two decades building and managing defense software businesses. At Research Innovations, Inc., DeVona ran a commercial software organization and converted mission software into licensed products that generated recurring revenue for both U.S. and allied defense customers. His tenure included managing the product line, engineering organization, sales teams, and profit and loss.

Prior to his role at Research Innovations, DeVona held progressively senior positions, starting as a software engineer at Fort Monmouth and advancing to technical program management, business development, and full profit and loss ownership. He has twice led the establishment of defense software companies from small teams into established providers, demonstrating his ability to build and scale successful businesses.

"Scott knows how to win programs, and he knows how to build a product business around the software that delivers them," said Don Claussen, CEO of Parry Labs. "Other companies want to be the ecosystem. We enable the ecosystem to operate as one, and that is what this next phase requires."

DeVona will focus on enhancing Parry Labs' capabilities to connect and translate various platforms, sensors, networks, AI, and mission data at the tactical edge without locking customers into a proprietary ecosystem. The challenge lies in integrating current and future mission systems, ensuring that military formations can achieve greater lethality by connecting their existing and upcoming technologies.

"Our customers are being asked to connect the systems they have today with the autonomous systems arriving tomorrow, and to do it without being locked into any one vendor," DeVona said. "That is the hardest problem in the room, and it is what Parry does. My focus is getting that capability into more programs, faster, so formations get more lethality out of the platforms, sensors, and networks they own now and will receive in the future."

Parry Labs specializes in creating vendor-independent interoperability, enabling seamless communication between current and future mission systems. The company's mission is to empower tactical edge operations by translating and connecting diverse platforms and data streams without forcing customers into a single-vendor ecosystem.

With DeVona's strategic guidance, Parry Labs aims to accelerate its growth and expand its reach in the defense sector, addressing the critical need for flexible and interoperable systems in an increasingly complex technological landscape.
