ConnXAI Forms an Advisory Coalition
ConnXAI, a leading global provider of AI-driven infrastructure solutions, has recently unveiled the establishment of its
Advisory Coalition. This strategic group comprises a diverse range of industry leaders whose collective expertise will guide ConnXAI’s growth across public and private sectors. The coalition aims to accelerate innovation in various critical industries, including transportation, cybersecurity, and public-private partnerships.
The formation of this coalition comes on the heels of ConnXAI's impressive momentum, highlighted by partnerships with major players like Cisco and significant deployments that focus on enhancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of infrastructure solutions. This year has witnessed a strong performance for the company, marking it as a pivotal period in its development.
Key Coalition Members and Their Insights
Among the prominent figures joining the coalition is
Leslie Richards, a Professor of Practice at the University of Pennsylvania and former CEO of SEPTA. Richards has expressed her enthusiasm over ConnXAI’s unified platform, stating,
"Agencies are under immense pressure to do more with fewer resources. ConnXAI unifies CAD/AVL, fare, CCTV, and SCADA into one intelligent platform, helping agencies cut unplanned downtime by up to 30% while boosting on-time performance." Her insights underscore the tangible impact ConnXAI is expected to deliver to public transit agencies, enhancing operational efficiency amidst rising demands.
Another influential member is
Randy Iwasaki, former Director of Caltrans and Transportation Lead at AWS. Iwasaki emphasized the human aspect of transit, saying,
"Transit is more than infrastructure — it's about people arriving home safely every day. I joined the ConnXAI board because their Connected Transit as-a-Service (CTaaS) platform directly addresses safety needs, aligning with PTASP and Vision Zero while improving uptime for agencies nationwide." His input is crucial as it signifies a commitment to fostering safer transportation environments, vital for urban centers.
Moreover,
Emille Williams, previously CEO of COTA, highlighted the necessity for modern approaches in transit, stating,
“Modernizing transit requires a comprehensive, AI-powered, and integrated strategy to enhance safety, reliability, and the rider experience.” Williams's contributions align perfectly with ConnXAI's commitment to deploying advanced technology that transforms traditional transit systems into more intelligent, efficient operations.
Additionally,
Scott Belcher, former TIA CEO, brings a wealth of experience that focuses on the financial narratives of transit systems. He remarked,
“Federal and local funding priorities emphasize safety, accountability, and resilience. ConnXAI's CTaaS model delivers measurable ROI while unlocking new funding opportunities for agencies.” Belcher’s perspective on funding can shape policy directions that align public safety with fiscal responsibility across the nation.
Company Expectations
The executives at ConnXAI consider the formation of this coalition as a significant milestone in their evolution.
Indrajit Ghosh, CEO of ConnXAI, stated,
“Transformation in mission-critical industries demands more than technology — it requires trusted collaboration and visionary leadership.” His sentiment encapsulates ConnXAI’s ethos of forging strong partnerships with industry leaders to foster progressive solutions.
Furthermore,
Steve Pitchon, Chief Client Officer, added,
“Together, we will drive safer operations, greater uptime, and long-term resilience for our customers.” Their commitment illustrates ConnXAI's determination to empower organizations with reliable, AI-enhanced infrastructure solutions.
Summarizing the coalition's importance,
Amar Reddy, Chairman of the Board, noted,
“This coalition marks a pivotal moment in ConnXAI's evolution. Their guidance will empower ConnXAI to deliver next-gen AI solutions and forge trusted partnerships at scale.” This vision reflects an ambition that extends beyond mere technological enhancements, aiming for a transformative impact across infrastructures domestically and abroad.
