Strategic Board Expansion and Investment

The newly expanded Advisory Board brings together a prestigious group of leaders from the luxury, retail, and logistics sectors.

These individuals join an existing bench of high-profile advisors from organizations such as Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Saks Global. This group provides Verneek with deep domain expertise to refine how AI-driven decision-making is implemented across various business functions.

"Tripling revenue year over year through serving iconic consumer brands, reaching profitability, and continuing to attract this caliber of strategic investors and advisors makes this a defining moment for Verneek's growth," said Dr. Nasrin Mostafazadeh, co-founder and CEO of Verneek. "We founded the company with the belief that AI should not simply sit on top of siloed enterprise workflows — it should instead unify them to help drive decision making across business functions."

Operational Impact and AI Integration

Verneek’s proprietary AI-Native Operating Platform is engineered to solve the problem of fragmented data within large organizations. By integrating disconnected systems, the platform assists with complex tasks such as merchandise planning and customer care. Industry leaders have noted that the technology offers a practical application of AI that addresses long-underserved areas of the retail industry. The focus remains on empowering employees and translating AI opportunities into measurable financial performance and enhanced customer experiences.

"What stands out about Verneek is its practical application of AI in an industry that has long been underserved by technology, helping drive measurable financial performance while enhancing the customer experience," said Dave Kimbell.
