CEO - Simunix

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to take the helm of a profitable, deeply embedded data business and build the commercial engine that will drive its next phase of growth. You will join directly as CEO, reporting to a Banyan Operating Leader, with full operational authority over how you run the business. With Banyan's backing and shared AI and operational expertise behind you, your job is to turn a strong, durable asset into a growth company: improve new-logo acquisition, expand into adjacent public- and private-sector markets, and make the product the primary competitive advantage. The opportunity to create structural distance through AI is real.

Responsibilities

• Strategy and Commercial Outcomes
• Own the company's strategic direction, market positioning, and competitive response.
• Drive revenue growth with full P&L accountability across retention, expansion, pricing, and new customer acquisition.
• Build a repeatable, scalable go-to-market engine that reopens new-logo sales and reduces reliance on back-to-base growth, to return the business to double-digit growth.
• Expand the addressable market beyond the established policing base to include adjacent public-sector buyers (local authorities, healthcare) and grow the private-sector footprint across financial services, AML, and identity verification.
• Establish pricing and packaging strategies that reflect the value the data and platform deliver.
• Identify and act on AI-driven opportunities to reposition the product and create a durable competitive distance.
• Product and Technology Partnership
• Own the product roadmap at a strategic level, ensuring it reflects customer needs, market dynamics, and long-term competitive positioning.
• Partner with the operations and technology leadership to translate product vision into execution priorities.
• Sharpen the product's fit for the financial services market and bring the emerging KYC, AML, data orchestration, and ID verification propositions to market.
• Champion AI-first product thinking, identifying where automation, predictive insights, and intelligent workflows create durable differentiation in fraud and identity intelligence.
• Make deliberate build-vs-buy decisions and sequence the roadmap under resource constraints.
• Team and Operations
• Build and lead a high-performing commercial team within a close-knit business of around 15 people, raising the bar on sales execution and accountability.
• Establish clear decision rights, execution cadences, and accountability frameworks that increase speed and commercial discipline without disrupting what already
