Corsha Expands C-Suite to Accelerate Industrial Identity Security Growth

Corsha has strengthened its executive bench to support rapid growth in industrial identity security, appointing Melissa Keohane as Chief Operating Officer and Kevin Bocek as Chief Product Officer, while elevating Eric Kumar to Chief Customer Officer. The moves come as demand surges from manufacturing, critical infrastructure, and defense customers seeking secure connectivity between operational technology and modern data and AI platforms.

Keohane will oversee finance, HR, legal, compliance, and operational strategy, with a mandate to scale Corsha’s organization and culture for long-term expansion and integration with complex industrial clients. Bocek, a key architect of the machine identity security category, will lead product strategy to extend the Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform, positioning the company at the center of how OT environments authenticate and connect safely in increasingly digitized plants and facilities.

Kumar, who previously led operations and customer success, will focus on deepening relationships with Corsha’s growing customer base and driving measurable outcomes as organizations modernize their OT networks. CEO and founder Anusha Iyer framed the leadership changes as critical to helping customers securely connect every machine that manufactures, controls, processes, or transports data and materials into the AI and data revolution, highlighting both physical and financial risk if OT connectivity remains unsecured.

The appointments follow prior leadership experience at CyberArk and Venafi for Keohane and Bocek, bringing significant category-creation and integration expertise that is likely to shape Corsha’s product roadmap and go-to-market strategy. Corsha’s platform, built around an identity control plane and inline gatekeepers, is designed to move OT security from passive monitoring to real-time, identity-driven control, enabling safer adoption of predictive analytics, robotics, and physical AI across industrial environments.

Backed by venture investors including Ten Eleven Ventures, Razor’s Edge Ventures, Booz Allen Ventures, and Cybernetix Ventures, Corsha is positioned to capitalize on rising capital investment in advanced manufacturing and critical infrastructure. For executives in industrial and defense sectors, the expanded leadership team signals Corsha’s intent to scale globally, deepen its footprint across aerospace, automotive, data centers, and facilities management, and become a key partner for securing high-value operational systems against evolving cyber threats.
