Nizami holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Akron, with 12 publications in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences and six granted patents.
Syniti’s suite of software includes its flagship unified data management platform, the Syniti Knowledge Platform, which is also resold by SAP as SAP Advanced Data Migration & Management by Syniti; as well as Syniti Rapid Data Governance and its Direct Solutions, Syniti Match and Syniti Replicate.
Javeed Nizami, CTO and head of engineering, said: “I have a true passion for data and there’s no better place to drive data innovation than at Syniti. I’m excited and humbled to take on this important role, ensuring that Syniti continues to deliver the best, most efficient technology to our customers to aid in their digital transformation efforts.”
Ryan Rodenburg, chief operating officer, Syniti, said: “Javeed has a track record of excellence in achieving business objectives and a proven ability to build strong and critical relationships across all functions. His background as a world-class architect and his hands-on approach to product development provide exactly the leadership we need to continue our journey to the cloud. Nurturing talent and promoting from within is a core value of Syniti culture and we know Javeed will thrive in this new role.”
Steve Mills, Syniti board member and chairman of its tech committee, and executive partner, Bridge Growth Partners, said: “During my tenure at IBM, I was fortunate to lead many talented teams through major transitions in technology, and building and scaling an enterprise cloud solution is no simple task. Javeed’s architectural expertise, customer first mindset and dedication to excellence will allow Syniti to continue to deliver real business benefits for its customers.”
