The Company is pleased to announce that Jim Grimes has joined the Company as Executive Chairman & Director. He will also Chair the Investment Committee.

Mr. Grimes is a recognized pioneer in Canada’s telecom technology industry; a highly successful angel investor and much sought-after, respected executive consultant. During the first 15 years of his career, he led three early stage Silicon Valley based telecom start-ups from inception, through exceptional growth, to exit – Stratacom Inc. (Cisco); Xylan Inc.

This was Cisco Global Ventures’ first fund outside the US and they successfully built and deployed $150M in the Canadian venture ecosystem.

Most recently, leveraging his vast and deep relationships in the C-suites of Canadian business, Mr. Grimes advises companies, such as Rogers Communications Inc. and Next Pathway, on their corporate growth, acquisition and exit strategies.

“I am honoured to serve on the Board and work with the impressive management team that has been assembled over the past year,” said Mr. Grimes. “Predictiv AI is well positioned to become a significant and profitable consolidator in the IoT sector. I look forward to contributing to Predictiv AI’ continued success.”
