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.
