Galactic today announced the appointment of Seth Loe as President, along with the promotion of three additional senior team members and the establishment of the company's Security Research Division. The appointments reflect Galactic's growth and continued investment in the people and capabilities that serve its partners.
The entire Galactic team is driven to protect our customers. These four promotions help us put that commitment into practice every day by leading us boldly into the future of cybersecurity.
Anna Talerico, CEO of Galactic
Seth Loe President & Chief Security Officer
Seth first joined Galactic in 2022 as a CISSP focused on compliance and quickly moved into building the teams and programs that would expand the company's capabilities and partner value. He stepped away briefly to serve as Chief Information Officer for a healthcare provider before returning in June 2025 to lead the vCSO enablement program where he coaches partners on delivering security leadership to their clients. He assumed the role of Chief Security Officer this spring. His appointment as President is the next step in ensuring partners are fully equipped to stay ahead of the threats they and their clients face today.
Everyone who partners with Galactic has bet a piece of their business on the decisions made inside this company. I'm excited to help lead the team developing the solutions that make those bets pay off, for our partners and for every person they protect.
Alongside Seth's appointment, Galactic is announcing three additional promotions and the creation of its Security Research Division. Cody Kretsinger will lead the division as Director of Security Research, with Aidan Brown joining as Security Analyst. The division formalizes Galactic's investment in proactive threat research and intelligence, translating findings into actionable guidance for partners. David Cullett assumes leadership of the product team as Director of Product Management.
David Cullett Director of Product Management
David joined Galactic three years ago, moving from QA Manager to Product Manager and into the Director of Product Management role he now holds. He brings decades of security experience, including a background in offensive techniques, that shapes how the team approaches what they build.
Our partners face risk that doesn't sit still, so our products can't either. The last three years inside Galactic showed me what works for our partners and what doesn't, and this role puts that insight straight into where our product goes next.
Cody Kretsinger Director of Security Research
Cody joined Galactic in April 2022 and has since built the company's security and incident response advisory capabilities into a core practice. He advances from Principal Security Advisor to Director of Security Research, leading the newly formed Security Research Division with a focus on attacker tradecraft, vulnerability analysis, and emerging attack methods.
I love building things that don't exist yet. At a previous company, I built a 24/7 SOC (Security Operations Center) with real incident response and red team capability from scratch. I intend to build this division the same way. My goal is for it to become a name the industry turns to first, so our partners feel every bit of that edge.
Aidan Brown Security Analyst
Aidan has been at Galactic for nearly three years, working directly with partners across advisory engagements spanning virtually every area of cybersecurity. He moves from Security Advisor to Security Analyst within the new Security Research Division, shifting from strictly advisory work to hands-on research and vulnerability analysis.
This is the aspect of cybersecurity I've wanted to spend more time in since my first red team engagement. The more we understand how attackers actually operate, the more specific and useful the knowledge we pass to our partners. I'm excited to help them see not just what happened last quarter, but what's coming next.
