Exiger Appoints Adi Kavaler as Chief Technology Officer to Accelerate AI Innovation Across Its Supply Chain Platform
Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company and the largest provider of supply chain technology to the United States Government, has appointed veteran technologist Adi Kavaler as its new Chief Technology Officer. The hire arrives at a pivotal moment — Exiger is deploying an AI-native approach to product development and delivery, and the company is looking to Kavaler to structure, accelerate, and scale the AI platform that underpins its entire supply chain intelligence offering.
The former CTO of CentralSquare Technologies and Zilliant brings more than 25 years of experience leading large-scale global engineering and product teams at Fortune 100 and 500 companies. His background spans enterprise data platforms, government-focused software businesses, and AI-driven product lifecycles — a combination that maps directly onto Exiger's current phase of expansion as it competes to define what AI-native supply chain intelligence looks like for the most demanding enterprise and government customers in the world.
"Adi joined Exiger at the perfect moment. We're bringing the market to the bleeding edge with an AI-native product development lifecycle and platform, and we need a CTO capable of pushing us to the forefront while building the engineering discipline to sustain our market leadership at scale. Adi brings the technical depth, operating rigor, and drive this phase demands."
— Brandon Daniels, CEO, Exiger
A Career Built on Scaling AI and Data Platforms at Enterprise Scale
Adi Kavaler's career is defined by a consistent pattern: joining technology businesses at the moment when their ambition outpaces their engineering foundations, and building the structure, discipline, and capability needed to scale without losing momentum. He joins Exiger having served as CTO of both CentralSquare Technologies — a leading provider of mission-critical software for the public sector — and Zilliant, a pricing and revenue optimisation platform. Before those roles, he spent more than 15 years at SAP in Technology and Product leadership positions, and held senior engineering and product roles at HPE and Google's Launchpad Accelerator.
Across each of those organisations, Kavaler has operated at the intersection of enterprise applications, data, and AI — building award-winning products for large global teams and navigating the specific complexity of data-heavy businesses with sophisticated government and enterprise customer bases. That experience profile is a direct match for where Exiger is today: a company with deep data assets, a demanding government customer base, and an AI platform that needs to scale from strong foundation to undisputed market leadership.
"I've spent the majority of my career building and scaling technology businesses around enterprise applications, data, and AI. AI is advancing at an extraordinary pace, and Exiger is uniquely positioned to harness and capitalise on this shift as it's already at the forefront of applying these tools as an AI-native company. I'm thrilled to join the team and help translate what AI makes newly possible into real outcomes for Exiger's customers."

Exiger's AI-Native Platform — The 1Exiger Single Pane of Glass
Exiger's core product is the 1Exiger platform — a single, intuitive interface that provides instant visibility into vast supplier ecosystems through one connected view. Leveraging proprietary data and advanced agentic AI, 1Exiger proactively surfaces risks, automates compliance workflows, accelerates procurement, and identifies opportunities to reduce costs and strengthen long-term supply chain resilience. The platform transforms what has historically been one of the most complex challenges in enterprise operations — supply chain management — into a strategic competitive advantage.
Exiger is FedRAMP® authorised and serves as the largest provider of supply chain technology to the US Federal Government — a trust designation that reflects the maturity, security, and reliability of its platform. Across its customer base of 550+ global organisations, Exiger has earned consistent recognition: it is named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supplier Risk Management, twice selected as one of Fast Company's 'Brands That Matter,' and has received 50+ industry awards.
Kavaler's mandate as CTO is to build on this foundation — specifically to advance Exiger's AI Product Development Lifecycle (AI PDLC), the internal framework through which the company designs, validates, and ships AI-native capabilities at the pace its market position demands. His experience in data-heavy government software businesses makes him particularly well-suited to navigate the complexity of building AI products that must meet the rigorous security, compliance, and performance standards that government and enterprise customers require.
What the CTO Role Covers — Engineering Depth and Innovation at Scale
As CTO, Kavaler's priorities span four interconnected dimensions of Exiger's technology roadmap:
AI Platform Acceleration
Driving the AI-native product development lifecycle forward — ensuring Exiger's agentic AI capabilities evolve at the pace required to maintain its position at the bleeding edge of supply chain intelligence.
Engineering Discipline & Scale
Building the engineering rigour and operational structure that sustains market leadership as the platform scales — ensuring that speed of innovation does not come at the cost of reliability, security, or compliance.
Government Platform Readiness
Leveraging Kavaler's deep experience in government-focused software businesses to ensure Exiger's AI capabilities meet the exacting security, compliance, and performance standards that its US Federal Government customers require.
Customer Outcome Translation
Turning the rapidly expanding frontier of what AI makes possible into tangible, measurable outcomes for Exiger's 550+ global customers — ensuring the platform's AI capabilities translate directly into supply chain resilience, procurement efficiency, and risk reduction.
Key Takeaways
Exiger has appointed Adi Kavaler as Chief Technology Officer — a strategic hire to structure, accelerate, and scale Exiger's AI platform as the company pushes to the bleeding edge of supply chain intelligence.
Kavaler brings over 25 years of enterprise AI, data, and engineering leadership — including CTO roles at Zilliant and CentralSquare Technologies, and 15+ years at SAP — with two US patents and a track record of scaling technology for data-heavy government and enterprise customers.
His priorities span AI platform acceleration, engineering discipline at scale, government platform readiness, and translating AI capability into measurable customer outcomes across Exiger's 550+ global clients — including 150 Fortune 500 and 60+ government and Defence Industrial Base organisations.
The appointment of Adi Kavaler as CTO reflects the seriousness with which Exiger is approaching this next phase of growth. AI in supply chain intelligence is moving from an emerging capability to a core competitive battleground — and the companies that will lead it are those that build not just powerful AI, but the engineering rigour to ship it reliably, securely, and at scale. For Exiger, that means having a CTO who has done exactly that before, in contexts that closely mirror the complexity ahead.
