Venkatesan was previously CEO of Cantaloupe Inc., a publicly traded digital payments and software services company, until its recent acquisition by 365 Retail Markets. He is a global business leader with a proven track record of value creation across multiple high-growth technology companies. His deep expertise in disrupting current business models through unique go-to-market strategies and innovative product development make him an ideal leader for the company's next phase of growth.
