Sumo Logic, the Intelligent Operations Platform, today announced Tom Bonos has been named the company’s new Chief Revenue Officer. Bonos will oversee Sumo Logic’s global sales and customer success organizations. He will also be focused on helping customers drive their business forward through AI innovation. At the same time, he will support customers to maintain strong reliability and security. The appointment follows a growing use of artificial intelligence by companies.
Security and cloud operations teams are moving beyond early AI experimentation. Instead, many organizations now want to deploy agentic AI across critical enterprise workflows. These workflows often depend on large volumes of telemetry data. Therefore, businesses need reliable data foundations to support AI-driven security and operations. Sumo Logic is addressing this demand through its Dojo AI platform. The platform transforms massive volumes of telemetry into trusted context and actionable intelligence.
As a result, customers can use AI-powered capabilities across security and operational environments. The approach also supports organizations seeking greater automation and improved business outcomes.
“We empower customers to translate telemetry into trusted, AI-ready data, fueling autonomous AI agents so our customers can investigate and resolve issues,” said Chris Malone, CEO of Sumo Logic. “Tom has built his career working with customers to achieve business results, and his leadership will be critical as we help customers shift work to agents, improving security and performance outcomes while reducing costs.
AI-Driven Security and Operations
Sumo Logic has already deployed autonomous agents in its own Security Operations Center (SOC). “The internal deployment has shown demonstrable improvements in security operations. The company’s AI-driven approach has cut mean time to resolution (MTTR) by nearly 65%. It has also freed up more than 25 hours a week for security analysts.
These results highlight the promise of AI-driven automation in security operations. They also point out the increasing importance of autonomous agents in enterprise environments. Bonos and his team will partner with customers to deliver similar outcomes. They will also focus on improving security performance and operational efficiency. Meanwhile organizations are still looking for ways to reduce operational costs. They also want to improve their ability to respond to complex security issues.
Therefore, security platforms based on AI are becoming more important for modern enterprises. Trusted telemetry and actionable intelligence can help organizations make operational decisions faster. Sumo Logic’s approach connects these capabilities with the broader needs of security and cloud ops teams. The company seeks to help customers take AI from experimentation to usable enterprise deployments. The addition of a new Chief Revenue Officer further enhances Sumo Logic’s commercial strategy. Bonos will be in charge of sales and customer success teams worldwide.
Tom Bonos Brings Global Revenue Experience
Bonos joins Sumo Logic from Applause. At Applause, he served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Revenue Officer. Previously, he held senior global sales positions at ServiceSource, Oracle, and SAP. His background spans enterprise technology, global sales, operations, and customer-focused growth. That experience will support his new responsibilities at Sumo Logic. He will work with customers and teams across global markets.
“Customers can see through companies selling AI agents without the underlying data foundation,” said Bonos. “Sumo Logic has a powerful advantage: the telemetry, context and intelligence required to make agents useful, trustworthy and accountable in complex enterprise environments. I’m excited to work alongside our customers and teams around the world to turn that advantage into meaningful results for our customers and partners.”
The appointment follows an increased focus by enterprises on trustworthy AI. Before deploying autonomous technologies, organizations need secure and reliable foundations. That’s why data quality, telemetry, security and operational intelligence are still at the heart of enterprise AI strategies. These capabilities can give businesses the confidence to deploy AI agents.
The leadership change at Sumo Logic underscores the company’s focus on AI-powered security and observability. The company is also evolving its platform to help organizations manage increasingly complex technology environments. Bonos will now lead Sumo Logic’s global sales and customer success efforts. His role will be to translate the company’s technology capabilities into real-world customer outcomes.
As enterprise AI adoption continues, Sumo Logic will look for opportunities across security and cloud operations. We want to help customers improve performance, while maintaining reliability and security. The move is also part of the broader trend toward agentic AI. More and more companies are exploring autonomous systems able to investigate problems and assist operational decisions. With Bonos at the helm of revenue operations, Sumo Logic is positioned to continue growing customer relationships around these emerging capabilities. The company will also emphasize the practical value of its AI-first platform.
