Roger Brackin, has been appointed to the role of Strategic Geospatial Advisor at ENVITIA, the geospatial software and solutions company. Brackin is a world-renowned geospatial expert at the forefront of the drive towards open data and open standards as the means to unlock the untapped value of location-based data. This role will enable Brackin to broaden his activities within the international geospatial community and the open data movement.

Nabil Lodey, ENVITIA’s CEO, stated that “the geospatial sector is quickly becoming more than just a specialised industry and is now at the heart of everything we do where location provides the connection between the digital and physical world. Good examples of this are applications with a strong mapping element, such as Uber or AirBnB, as well as sectors, such as digital supply chains and transport, that are being revolutionised through the Internet of Things and Smart Cities.  Roger, has been one of the leading lights in the industry to enable this to happen due to his specialist skills and knowledge. This new role enables Roger to become more closely involved with external strategic projects and industry bodies while continuing to be an integral part of the ENVITIA team.”

Envitia Group PLC, the leading provider of geospatial technology and solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment of Nabil Lodey as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with immediate effect. Nabil has over 20 years of leading innovative organisations, most recently in the Internet of Things (IoT) software market.

John Massey, the founder and Chairman of Envitia, commented:

“The Board is delighted to appoint Nabil as CEO. He brings energy and fresh ideas that we believe will be critical to our next phase of growth. I look forward to supporting Nabil and the Executive team moving forward.”

Nabil Lodey, commented:

“I am absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to lead the Company through this exciting next phase of development. Geospatial technology is now part of everyday life and Envitia’s world class capabilities uniquely enables it to consistently meet our customers’ needs.

Looking ahead, organisations are being inundated with huge amounts of data. Much of the operational data relates to when and where things are (or should be), and often hides much more value. Making sense of this data to extract meaningful information, with new insights, is a complex process but critical in order to move towards a “smarter” way of working. Envitia is well placed to guide our customers through this process and help them deliver real business advantage.

I am looking forward to working with John, the Board and a great team within Envitia.”
