Parry Labs Recruits Scott DeVona to Scale Defense Software Revenue

DeVona arrives from Research Innovations, Inc., where he managed P&L, engineering, and sales, effectively shifting the company toward a licensed product model. His background includes multiple $100 million contract captures across the Army, Air Force, and DARPA. His career trajectory began as a software engineer at Fort Monmouth, providing him with early proximity to the military decision-makers who define program requirements.

CEO Don Claussen emphasized that the company’s current phase requires a leader capable of building a product business around its core interoperability technology. DeVona’s mandate focuses on breaking vendor lock-in for military programs, enabling existing platforms to integrate with emerging autonomous systems. By accelerating the adoption of Parry’s vendor-independent tools, the firm aims to boost the lethality of existing combat networks while preparing for future technological integration.
