Parry Labs Welcomes New Board Member
On November 9, 2026, Parry Labs, a leading mission systems integrator known for its advancements in defense modernization, made notable changes to its Board of Directors. The company proudly announces the appointment of
Matthew J. Schiltz, a seasoned technology executive, as a new board member. This transition marks a significant pivotal point for Parry Labs as it navigates its path in the evolving technology landscape.
Matthew J. Schiltz brings over
30 years of experience in the technology sector, particularly in transforming legacy markets through innovative approaches. His impressive background includes serving as the CEO of several high-growth technology companies, where he was instrumental in achieving staggering value growth of up to
50 times in both private and public sectors. Notably, Schiltz played a key role in the monumental growth of
DocuSign, which achieved a
10 times growth trajectory leading up to its IPO and is now valued at over
$15 billion. His strategic acumen in scaling businesses, including turning
Conga from a
$15 million annual recurring revenue to one of the largest privately held SaaS companies in the country, sets an impressive precedence for his tenure at Parry Labs.
David Gross, the founding Chairman of Parry Labs, will be transitioning to a new role as
Chairman Emeritus after dedicating over eight years to leading the company as its Board Chairman. Gross was pivotal in the startup's early stages and was one of the company's first capital investors. Despite his title change, he will remain heavily engaged with Parry Labs as a board observer, continuing to lend his extensive expertise to support the company’s strategic objectives.
In expressing his enthusiasm about joining Parry Labs, Schiltz stated, "For the last three decades, I have focused on companies that disrupt legacy markets through innovation in technology, and Parry Labs exemplifies that vision within national security. This organization is not only remarkable due to its cutting-edge products and services but also because of its exceptional team and collaborative spirit. I am excited to be a part of this journey to redefine the future of national security.”
Schiltz delineates strong parallels between the technological disruption he has championed in the enterprise software space and the transformative shift currently unfolding in defense sectors. He recognizes that as
drones, robotics, and
distributed command and control capabilities evolve, military computing is poised to follow a trajectory reminiscent of the SaaS revolution. He asserts that Parry Labs is already a frontrunner in this new landscape, presenting a multitude of opportunities for growth and innovation.
This board appointment reflects the momentum Parry Labs is experiencing. With the recent arrival of
Chief Revenue Officer Scott DeVona, alongside a series of contract wins, Parry Labs is clearly establishing itself as a powerhouse in the mission-technology market. As Schiltz joins the ranks, it underscores how Parry Labs is innovating and securing valuable partnerships that aim to reshape the future of national security.
