WASHINGTON, DC. APRIL 30, 2026 – Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company and largest provider of supply chain technology to the U.S. Government, announced that it has hired veteran technologist Adi Kavaler to serve as Chief Technology Officer. The former CTO of CentralSquare Technologies and Zilliant has joined to structure, accelerate, and scale Exiger’s AI platform.
“Adi joined Exiger at the perfect moment,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. "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.”
Exiger is deploying an AI-native approach to product and delivery. Kavaler’s deep experience in data-heavy businesses, particularly those with a robust government customer base, and expertise in innovation acceleration will enhance Exiger’s AI PDLC.
“I’ve spent the majority of my career building and scaling technology businesses around enterprise applications, data, and AI,” said Kavaler. “AI is advancing at an extraordinary pace, and Exiger is uniquely positioned to harness and capitalize 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.”
