​

​Global data integrity company Precisely appoints Walid Abu-Hadba as its new CEO.  He succeeds Josh Rogers, who will transition into an advisory role as vice chairman to support continuity during the leadership change.

Joining from Sage, where he served as chief product officer, Abu-Hadba brings more than three decades of experience in scaling global software businesses, with a focus on AI-driven product innovation and technology transformation.  His previous roles include senior vice president of developer tools at Oracle and chief product officer at ANSYS. Earlier in his career, Abu-Hadba spent over 20 years at Microsoft, where he held the position of corporate vice president overseeing the Developer and Platform Evangelism group.

Backed by investors including Clearlake Capital Group, TA Associates, Insight Partners, and Partners Group, Walid Abu-Hadba’s appointment marks a new phase of growth for Precisely.  “We believe Walid’s impressive track record of architecting and delivering innovative, AI-based software solutions at scale makes him the ideal choice to help guide Precisely through its next phase of accelerated growth,” says Prashant Mehrotra, Partner and Managing Director, Clearlake.   “We see that AI is fundamentally changing how organizations operate and create value.  Underpinning the success of enterprise AI strategies is the utilization of trusted, well-governed data – a key value proposition of Precisely’s solutions.  With his disciplined approach and engineering rigour, we believe Walid will further the Company’s critical and differentiated market position in the data value chain and address the challenges that undermine our customers’ AI effectiveness.”

“I am honoured to join Precisely at this pivotal moment in the Company’s journey,” says Walid Abu-Hadba, CEO, Precisely.  “I have long admired Precisely’s reputation as the trusted partner for organizations that depend on accurate, reliable data.  As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, we believe success or failure increasingly hinges on data integrity, positioning Precisely at the nexus of the AI transformation underway at large enterprises.  I look forward to working closely with our talented team as we strive to build on this strong foundation and deliver exceptional results for our customers.”

Precisely says Rogers’ continued involvement will help ensure a smooth transition as Abu-Hadba takes the helm.
