Former Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and Dell EMC executive Suresh Sathyamurthy has joined Aeris as chief marketing officer. In his new role, Sathyamurthy will lead Aeris’ marketing, communications and go-to-market strategy as the company expands into securing and connecting physical AI, the emerging category of autonomous vehicles, robotics and intelligent machines operating in the physical world.
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Aeris. As enterprises and capital markets increasingly shift investment toward autonomous systems, robotics and software-defined mobility, the connectivity and security demands placed on physical hardware have grown more complex and more mission-critical.
“Aeris has spent years earning the trust of enterprises who depend on us to keep their most critical assets connected and secure. As physical AI reshapes how the world moves, builds and operates, our customers need a partner who can match that pace,” said Aziz Benmalek, the chief executive and a board director at Aeris. “Suresh brings the experience and vision, and I’m confident he’ll help us scale with the speed and ambition this market demands.”
Sathyamurthy added: “AI is moving off the screen and into the physical world, powering autonomous fleets, robotics and intelligent infrastructure everywhere. Few companies have the connectivity and security foundation Aeris has built over the years. I’m excited to build on that foundation and work alongside Aziz and the team to lead this next era of growth.”
