(ETQ: Burlington, MA) -- ETQ, part of Hexagon, has announced Vick Vaishnavi’s appointment as CEO. He succeeds former CEO Rob Gremley, who led the company through an era of private-equity backed growth and SaaS-driven modernization, ultimately leading to ETQ’s acquisition by Hexagon AB in April 2022.

Vaishnavi is responsible for leading ETQ’s strategic planning and execution at a time of rapid global expansion and product innovation. At the same time, Vaishnavi will serve as a critical executive liaison with Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, of which ETQ is now a part. He has more than three decades of deep experience in building high-growth SaaS companies and leading global expansion organically, through partnerships and via M&A activity.

“I am very impressed with the work that the ETQ team has done thus far to build a leading SaaS company in the quality management and health and safety software markets,” says Vaishnavi. “I am eager to dig into the rich work of getting to know ETQ’s people, products, and customers and I am confident that my background and approach will not only blend well with the team but provide a solid platform for the next step in ETQ’s evolution.”
