Alexandria, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)Savi™, an innovator in big data/machine learning analytic solutions, supply chain management software, and sensor technology, today announced that it has hired Jeffrey A. Friedman as Chief Financial Officer.

A veteran finance and operations leader, Friedman has more than three decades of experience in financial management for public and private companies operating in the technology, telecommunications, and software industries. Friedman joins Savi after eight years at Pherson Associates where he served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. At Pherson, he built and managed the company’s federal, commercial, and non-profit operating entities, nearly doubling their revenue in his time there.

He set the strategic direction for the early days of the venture fund and raised capital for investing in new technology and promoting entrepreneurship. Friedman graduated with a B.A. in economics from the University of Virginia before earning his MBA at George Washington University.

“I’m looking forward to jumping right in with Savi,” Friedman said. “There’s so much potential in the Internet of Things and the analytics technology surrounding it. Savi has been at the forefront of sensor use from the beginning. I am pleased I can bring some of my own experience in rapidly growing new technology adoption in both Federal and commercial business into play.”
