NEW YORK - Augury, an AI-based Machine Health solution provider, today announced that Edward (Ed) Auriemma has been named the company’s first Chief Operating Officer. Auriemma most recently served as EVP and Head of Business Operations at Infor, a $3.2b provider of industry specific cloud-based business applications. Auriemma will lead Augury’s Customer Success, Global Delivery, Global Business Operations and Business Infrastructure.

“In a time when manufacturing and industrial companies are accelerating their pace of digitization, but generalized AI projects have struggled to get traction, Machine Health is proving to be a killer application,” said Saar Yoskovitz, co-founder and CEO of Augury. “By delivering fast measurable impact we’re seeing rapid expansions of existing customers such as Colgate, ICL and Essity, increased pace of new customers and the addition of new partners such as DSV, who are using Machine Health insights to create a ‘parts as a service’ business.”

Auriemma brings a wide range of experience to Augury, having helped Infor transform from an on-premise application provider to a cloud leader by rapidly and significantly growing its cloud business over the last seven years. He oversaw a wide range of sales and marketing functions at the company, in addition to leadership roles in business operations, services and finance.
