Neat has appointed technology executive Javed Khan as Chief Executive Officer as the company accelerates its work in AI enabled collaboration systems. His arrival marks a strategic shift toward deeper investment in intelligent edge architectures, an area increasingly relevant to aerospace and other high performance industries that rely on secure, distributed computing.

Leadership Experience Spanning Intelligent Systems and Global Collaboration

Advancing AI at the Edge for Next Generation Collaboration
