Former Silent Push CRO and FireEye Engineering Leader Join ChaosTrack as CEO and CTO

ChaosTrack, an AI-powered autonomous cyber response platform, today announced the appointments of David Troha as CEO and Jay Manni as CTO. The leadership additions come as ChaosTrack accelerates development of its Simulation-to-Execution Pipeline and expands market reach to address the $48 billion cybersecurity automation gap.

David Troha joins from Silent Push, where he served as CRO. With over 20 years of sales leadership experience, Troha has led revenue growth at Advanced Intelligence, Hubble Technology (acquired by NetSPI), and Polarity (acquired by ThreatConnect). He helped establish the SOAR market in 2014 at Invotas International, acquired by FireEye in 2016.

Jay Manni brings 18 years of cybersecurity engineering expertise to ChaosTrack. Most recently SVP of Product Engineering at DTEX Systems, Manni was a founding engineer and Senior Director at FireEye, where he built core products that defined modern threat detection.

"The cybersecurity industry is facing an unsolvable talent crisis with 3.5 million unfilled positions, while organizations wait 241 days on average to detect breaches," said David Troha. "ChaosTrack's autonomous AI platform is the answer the market has been demanding—true automation that prepares defenses, responds at machine speed, and ensures continuous compliance. I'm thrilled to lead this team as we transform security."

"Having built threat detection and response systems at scale for FireEye and DTEX, I've seen where traditional approaches fail," said Jay Manni. "ChaosTrack's Simulation-to-Execution Pipeline represents a fundamental breakthrough—AI trained on hundreds of real-world incident patterns that learns what works and deploys proven strategies autonomously."

"Bringing on David and Jay at this stage is critical to our mission," said Pramod Cherukumilli, Founder and Chief Product Officer. "We've proven product-market fit with nearly 25 paying customers and demonstrated that our AI can augment security teams across preparation, response, and compliance. David's track record of building category-defining companies and Jay's deep expertise make them the perfect leaders to accelerate our growth."

ChaosTrack's platform addresses the complete incident lifecycle: before attacks, it runs unlimited AI simulations to test defenses; during attacks, multi-agent AI triages incidents and remediates within minutes; after attacks, it generates comprehensive audit trails for compliance.
