Former Belcan President to lead commercial and government revenue

NORRISTOWN, Pa., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Asylon, a U.S.-based leader in autonomous robotic platforms for physical operations, today appointed Erik Iverson as Chief Revenue Officer. Iverson will lead Asylon’s commercial and government revenue organizations as the company scales its established robotic security business and expands its autonomous ground and aerial platforms into inspection and other physical operations.

“Asylon has successfully scaled Physical AI and robotics reliably and repeatedly in complex, real-world operating environments,” said Damon Henry, Co-Founder and CEO of Asylon. “Erik brings extensive experience leading growth across leading businesses and governments, and brings vital operating discipline and aerospace and defense experience that can build on our progress to unlock a new phase of growth while strategically expanding into new markets like inspection.”

Asylon is expanding across multiple fronts. The company recently won a Phase III contract with the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex to advance its Multi-modal Autonomous Robotics for Inspection of Aircraft (MARIA), which pairs ground and aerial robots to perform coordinated general visual inspections of U.S. Air Force aircraft. Asylon continues to grow robotic security deployments across critical infrastructure, logistics, manufacturing and corporate campuses such as Mercedes Benz Stadium, Kia Georgia (Kia’s only U.S. manufacturing plant), and GXO Logistics, while completing more than 400,000 robotics missions and patrolling more than 250,000 miles.

“Asylon has built something few companies can replicate: a track record of deploying, running and supporting autonomous systems and Physical AI at scale across real operations,” said Iverson. “Asylon’s industry-leading capabilities are already creating meaningful value for businesses, governments and stakeholders alike, and I look forward to strategically expanding our operations to deliver the greatest impact for customers.”

Iverson brings more than 20 years of leadership across enterprise technology, aerospace and defense, and national security. Most recently, he was President, Strategic Accounts at Belcan, a Cognizant company, where he led a $300M+ business unit serving leading aerospace and defense customers. Before that, he served more than three years as Chief Growth Officer, Americas at Cognizant, driving growth across its $14 billion Americas commercial organization. As a White House Fellow, he served on the Secretary of State’s policy planning staff, focusing on cyber policy and transnational threats across two administrations. He previously served as an emergency management leader for the City of Philadelphia, remains an active volunteer firefighter and holds a Ph.D. in international relations.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Erik for over a decade. I regularly observe and learn from Erik’s ability to drive incredible structure, discipline, strategic thinking, and positive energy— always resulting in impressive growth and outcomes,” said Mike Hayes, Managing Director at Insight Partners and a member of Asylon’s Board of Directors. “Erik instantly came to mind as a compelling leader for Asylon, as he’s proven time and time again a unique ability to scale enterprise revenue and teams. No one builds better strategic customer relationships and operates so effectively across commercial, aerospace, defense and national security. Erik is a terrific addition to the seasoned leadership team at Asylon.”
