o9 Solutions Promotes Dr. Ashwin Rao to Chief Technology Officer
o9 Solutions, a leading software company that is powering enterprise planning and decisioning models across 30-plus industry verticals with its groundbreaking Digital Brain platform, today announced the promotion of Dr. Ashwin Rao, a multi-faceted leader with experiences across Wall Street, industry and academia, to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Dr. Rao’s appointment signals o9’s commitment to the breakthrough innovations it is pioneering to transform enterprise decision-making for the new normal of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) in the age of AI. This 10x innovation is APEX – short for Agile, Adaptive, Autonomous Planning & Execution.
o9’s original breakthrough 10x innovation – the Digital Brain platform – was designed to optimize enterprise value by bridging functional, process and knowledge silos of enterprises and drive more agile planning and execution in response to market risks and opportunities. APEX builds on this innovation, recognizing that the next big 10x problem to solve is making change simpler, and transformations faster and more reliable in delivering value. To make this happen, the constraint is not just better planning and decision-making technology. The constraint is the traditional operating models themselves: Organization structures, processes, people skills, data all must be reimagined for the AI age.
