EkkoSense hires Pete Le Noury for growth bid

Data centre simulation specialist EkkoSense has appointed senior global operations specialist Pete Le Noury as the company’s Chief Operations and Chief Financial Officer.

Pete Le Noury began his career as an Audit Manager for BDO Reads, before spending five years as a senior manager and head of the main audit department for KPMG. He also spent six years as an investment director at Catapult Venture Managers, providing extensive non-executive support for the company’s investments.

EkkoSense’s CEO Dean Boyle said:“EkkoSense’s CEO Dean Boylebrings proven board-level operational and financial experience to EkkoSense at a time when EkkoSense is aggressively building out its global sales channels and bringing our proven SaaS software capabilities to the US, European and Asia-Pacific markets.”

Le Noury said: “Joining EkkoSense was an easy decision as the company’s powerful EkkoSoft Critical SaaS solution can make a difference – enabling organisations to optimise their data centre performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional DCIM and CFD platforms. My combined financial and international operational experience is a great fit, and I’m looking forward to making sure that robust operational processes and financial capabilities support EkkoSense’s international expansion.”
