Dragos, Inc., the global leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, has appointed Dawn Mitchell as Chief People Officer. Joining the executive leadership team, Mitchell will lead the People organization to build organizational capacity, attract and retain top talent, and align people strategies with Dragos’s rapid expansion and mission to protect critical industrial infrastructure amid accelerating global demand for OT security.
