“At Cognite, we started out with a vision of an industrial world powered by data, reinventing the way asset-intensive domains are run. Today we have customers across the world, as well as application partners and integrators leveraging our software, Cognite Data Fusion,” said Cognite co-founder and Chief Strategy & Development Officer, Dr. John Markus Lervik. “I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve all achieved so far, and I’m even more excited as we envision the future, now in close partnership with Girish.”
Both Lervik and Rishi see this leadership addition as an opportunity to further strengthen Cognite’s growth journey and its software products to build autonomous, high-tech, data-driven industries.

Girish Rishi joins Cognite after serving as CEO of Blue Yonder (formerly known as JDA Software), a US-based global software company that provides supply chain management solutions.
Prior to his CEO position at Blue Yonder, Rishi held executive leadership positions in general management, product development, and go-to-market for Tyco, Motorola, and Symbol Technologies.
The appointment of Rishi follows an extensive search, led by Lervik and Cognite’s Board of Directors, to add new leadership that will further accelerate Cognite’s growth and solidify the company’s position as a leader in the industrial software market.
