Nicus Software, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise IT Financial Management (ITFM) solutions, announced the appointment of Eric Stoop as Chief Executive Officer to drive the company’s next phase of strategic growth, innovation, and customer value delivery in the evolving ITFM and Modern TBM landscape.
Eric Stoop assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer at Nicus, succeeding John Clark, who will continue supporting the company in an advisory capacity. Stoop’s appointment signals Nicus’ commitment to scaling its leadership in ITFM and Modern Technology Business Management (Modern TBM) while addressing the increasing challenges enterprises face in justifying and optimizing technology expenditures—particularly in AI, cloud, and hybrid environments.
“Nicus has built something incredibly rare—a platform that delivers not just transparency, but action. That’s what attracted me,” said Eric Stoop, CEO of Nicus. “Technology leaders today are being asked to do more with every dollar—to demonstrate value, optimize continuously, and move faster than ever before. Nicus is uniquely positioned to meet that need. I’m honored to join this team and help scale its impact.”
Stoop joins Nicus with a proven history of leading high-growth enterprise software companies. Most recently, he served as CEO of Ease.io, a cloud-based platform for operational audits and performance insights in manufacturing. Under his leadership, Ease expanded globally to more than 40 countries and achieved a successful majority control acquisition by Luminate Capital Partners in 2023.
His background emphasizes scaling SaaS platforms, aligning product innovation with customer outcomes, building high-performance teams, and delivering measurable business value—capabilities directly aligned with Nicus’ current growth trajectory.
Enterprises are under mounting pressure to manage accelerating AI and cloud costs, forecast the business value of digital investments, and maintain visibility across increasingly complex hybrid environments. Nicus addresses these needs by providing actionable insights that move beyond basic cost transparency to support defensible decision-making, total cost of ownership evaluation, and strategic alignment between IT spend and business priorities.
“Eric’s appointment reflects the market we serve,” said Philip Hall, Spotlight Equity Managing Partner and Nicus Chairman. “Our customers are asking for more—from intelligent value management and actionable insights to better forecasting of AI-driven and cloud-related costs. Eric understands how to lead at this scale, and how to deliver value that earns trust from CIOs, CFOs, and boards alike.”
Under Stoop’s leadership, Nicus will prioritize continued investment in product innovation, AI-infused capabilities, and customer success programs that empower organizations to govern technology investments with greater confidence and clarity.
