ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov 9, 2026 Parry Labs, a mission systems integrator at the forefront of defense modernization, today announced two changes to its Board of Directors: The addition of veteran technology executive Matthew J. Schiltz, and the transition of founding Chairman David Gross to the role of Chairman Emeritus.

Parry Labs today announced the addition of Matthew J. Schiltz to its Board of Directors. Schiltz, who has more than 30 years of experience disrupting legacy markets with new technology, has served as CEO of multiple high-growth technology companies, delivering 6x to 50x value growth across both private and public markets.

Gross, who has served as Board Chairman for more than eight years and was the company’s first capital investor, will remain closely engaged with Parry as a board observer. Joining the board is Schiltz, a technology executive with three decades of experience building and scaling SaaS, IaaS, and AI companies.

Schiltz has served as CEO of multiple high-growth technology companies, delivering 6x to 50x value growth across both private and public markets. He led DocuSign through a 10x growth run to IPO, helping build it into a company now valued at over $15 billion; and grew Conga from a $15 million ARR business into one of the largest privately held SaaS companies in the country. 

“I have spent the past 30 years of my professional life leading teams disrupting legacy markets with new technology, and Parry Labs is doing exactly that in national security,” Schiltz said. “It’s a terrific company with real upside; a team with the people, products, and know-how to keep winning. It’s truly helping to build the future of our national security. That’s why I wanted to join the Board.”

Schiltz sees strong parallels between the disruption he led in enterprise software and the shift now underway in defense as drones, robotics, and distributed command and control push military computing to the edge. He believes this military technology cycle will play out over an arc comparable to the SaaS revolution, and that Parry Labs is already a well-positioned winner in it.

Schiltz’s appointment represents the latest signal of Parry’s momentum. The recent arrival of Chief Revenue Officer Scott DeVona and a growing string of contract wins underscore a company that continues to attract top talent and disrupt an evolving mission-technology market. The arrival of Schiltz further underscores how Parry Labs is innovating, winning, and collaborating with leading industry partners who want to build the future of national security.
