In his new role, Bob will oversee all sales, revenue generation, and marketing efforts as Medcrypt continues to expand its offerings within the medical device cybersecurity landscape. His deep knowledge of enterprise cybersecurity solutions and proven success in scaling high-growth startups and global enterprises will be invaluable as Medcrypt aims to further solidify its market position.
Bob joins Medcrypt from Finite State, following its recent acquisition of MergeBase, a venture-backed supply chain cybersecurity startup, where he led revenue growth and business development as CRO. In addition, Bob serves as the Deputy Chair of the GSMA’s Device Security Group (DSG), contributing to the advancement of global standards for device security. Previously, Bob served as CRO of Cybeats, where he played a critical role in growing the company from its first customers to a successful IPO on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: CYBT).

Bob’s career is marked by entrepreneurial leadership, including co-founding and serving as CEO of Valona Labs, an enterprise cybersecurity startup that achieved a successful exit within two years through acquisition by HMD Global/Nokia Mobile. His work has helped create substantial revenue streams and drive successful exits for venture-backed companies, as well as grow innovative business units in large global organizations.
“We are excited to welcome Bob to the Medcrypt team,” said Mike Kijewski, CEO of Medcrypt. “His extensive experience, both as a senior leader in startups and large organizations, aligns with our strategic growth plans.
