(US and Canada) Urbint, the leading AI platform for predicting and stopping threats to critical infrastructure and workers, has appointed Matt Crye as Senior Vice President of Strategy. Crye was previously Vice President of Strategy at PowerPlan, a market leader in software for energy and telecommunications companies to optimize their investment in critical infrastructure.

"With recent legislation spurring new investment in infrastructure safety, reliability and emissions reduction, there has never been a better time for innovation in operational risk reduction than today," said Urbint Founder and CEO Corey Capasso. "Matt Crye is one of the leading strategic minds in the industry and has extensive experience successfully scaling software solutions for this sector. He’ll be a key leader in the next chapter of our growth."

Crye was an early employee at PowerPlan and held several leadership roles throughout the company’s growth trajectory to become a $1 billion-plus company. Crye’s more than two decades of PowerPlan experience included product design, implementation services, recruitment, strategic account management, and strategy.

"Corey and the Urbint team are tackling a fundamental and growing challenge that energy and infrastructure companies face today — mounting operational risk as severe weather, an aging grid, and workforce challenges collide," said Crye. "The opportunity in front of Urbint is vast, and I’m looking forward to helping Urbint create a safer environment for infrastructure providers and all stakeholders."

Crye holds a Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
