Surgere names Nykaj Nair as first chief revenue officer

Surgere, an AI-powered supply chain visibility SaaS company, has named Nykaj Nair as the company’s first chief revenue officer, an important step forward as Surgere seeks to drive significant new growth, enter new industries and deliver boundary-pushing solutions for customers everywhere.

Nair brings more than two decades of experience in business development, sales and leadership for global companies. Most recently, Nair served as the managing director and general manager for global IoT sales for Cisco, a worldwide software, networking, security, computing and technology company. There, he led strategy on Cisco’s internet of things (IoT) solutions, experience he will draw on to take Surgere into a new era.

“Supply chain uncertainty is a massive challenge for global industry and Surgere has a tremendous opportunity to remove that uncertainty by providing real-time visibility and intelligence,” Nair said. “I believe that this team truly has the opportunity to change the world and I couldn’t be more excited to help drive our next phase of growth through initiatives and the accelerated, worldwide adoption of our unique platform.”

The chief revenue officer position has emerged in forward-thinking organisations as a critical leadership role for driving holistic revenue growth strategies. At Surgere, Nair will unify marketing, sales and service delivery to create a streamlined, customer-centric approach that optimises every stage of the revenue cycle.

“Nykaj’s business development and strategic acumen speak for themselves and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him to Surgere,” said William Wappler, the CEO at Surgere. “This company started at my kitchen table in 2004. The sky has always been the limit for our growth potential and we firmly believe Nykaj will be instrumental as we capitalise on the supply chain technology market and accelerate the growth of our platform.”

Prior to his tenure at Cisco, Nair held leadership and management positions at Ingram Micro, Canon and Tech Pacific (India) Limited. He holds his bachelor of engineering degree from Bangalore University and his master of business administration degree from Queensland University of Technology.

KORE appoints Bruce Gordon as executive VP, COO to drive IoT operational excellence

KORE Group Holdings, an Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and pioneering IoT hyperscaler, announced on Monday that Bruce Gordon has joined as executive vice president and chief operating officer (COO), effective July 2, 2024. Gordon brings over three decades of technology sector experience, having held multiple significant leadership roles. 

Most recently, Gordon served as chief executive officer and executive chairman of GeoDigital, a provider of 3D services and geospatial intelligence software. Previously, at ABB Ventyx (formerly Mincom), Gordon served as senior vice president for business solutions. Prior to this, Gordon held roles of chief technology officer at Infor, an enterprise software company, overseeing technology strategy through a significant period of growth which included the acquisition and integration of 27 companies, and chief operating officer at Descartes where he was responsible for a significant business transformation.

“I am thrilled to join KORE and lead our operational strategies during this exciting period of expected growth,” Gordon said in a media statement. “With a focus on innovation and customer-centred solutions, I look forward to working with the talented team at KORE to drive operational excellence and deliver unparalleled value to our customers.”

In his new role as executive vice president and COO of KORE, Gordon will focus on enhancing operational efficiencies, fostering innovation and driving sustainable growth. His leadership will help optimise KORE’s internal processes, leverage human talent and maximise market opportunities to solidify the company’s position as a leader in IoT.

“We are delighted to welcome Bruce to the KORE executive team,” said Ron Totton, interim president and CEO of KORE. “Bruce’s extensive experience and proven track record in transforming organisations and driving growth will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and expand our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

In connection with his employment, the company made a grant to Gordon of an aggregate of 100,000 restricted stock units (RSUs), where each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the company’s common stock upon the terms and conditions of the related RSU award agreements. The grant of RSUs was offered as a material inducement to Gordon’s hiring.

The RSUs were granted by the Compensation Committee of KORE’s Board of Directors, in reliance on the employment inducement exemption under the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual Rule 303A.08, which requires public announcement of inducement awards. 

The RSUs were granted outside the KORE Group Holdings, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, but will be governed by the terms of the Plan as if they were issued under the Plan.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreements, 10,000 RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, 27,500 RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, 27,500 RSUs shall vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and 35,000 RSUs shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to Gordon’s continuous employment or service to the company through the applicable vesting date.
