QOMPLX, an intelligent decision platform provider startup formerly known as Fractal, has appointed John Ferrari to the role of Chief Administrative Officer and William Solms as President and general manager of the company’s new government solutions division.
Ferrari, who joins following a 32-year career in the US Army, will be responsible for leading the financial modelling, accounting, financial audit and corporate structuring functions, along with leading the core operations of human resources, recruiting and facilities.
He will provide a company-wide view across analytics, administration, strategy and process functions while supporting go-to-market activities.
“I look forward to putting my expertise to use in addressing and remedying the complexities of business operations in the technology sector with a company focused on mission critical applications,” said Ferrari.
“After three decades of working with multi-national staffs and agencies to measure, model and align resources with organizational objectives and strategy, John’s experience has primed him for joining us at QOMPLX,” said QOMPLX co-founder and CEO, Jason Crabtree.
Solms, meanwhile, will lead the new government solutions division with a focus on supporting mission critical organisations during their technological transformations.
He brings over 30 years’ experience to the new role and was most recently vice president and general manager at Federal Division for Qualys, where he drove government IT initiatives including strategy, solutions development, marketing and sales.
“Government agencies are looking to better operationalize data at scale and require analytics and simulation solutions which are robust and operate at scale,” added Crabtree,
“With Bill’s unique government and cybersecurity experience, we are better able to extend our commercially proven solutions into public organizations and support other private companies servicing the same client base as they modernize and address critical technology gaps.”
Commenting on his appointment, Solms said, “Government organizations are beginning to recognize that advanced data analytic solutions can now address some issues that have been considered too complicated in the past to even try to solve.
“QOMPLX’s growing success has demonstrated a more effective and cost-efficient path to do just that. This will address the gaps in government organizations to support highly customizable decision platforms and address the most demanding government problems now and in the future. I’m thrilled to be leading this charge as QOMPLX expands into the government sector with its cybersecurity and broader analytics platform.”
