Techopia Live: New CEO heralds next chapter for JSI

Ottawa Business Journal

It's a common refrain in Ottawa’s technology sector: You can work in the local sector for decades and still be surprised that you don’t know all the success stories. This is the case JSI Telecom, a company founded in 1979 that has developed a global reputation for helping law enforcement, intelligence agencies and security organizations analyze data. JSI has more than 400 employees working around the world in offices near Washington, Frankfurt and Sydney. Just days ago, an external CEO took the helm of the family enterprise. Sacha Gera, a veteran of the local tech sector, who has worked for Nortel, Nokia, CGI, BlackBerry and Calian, is the new CEO, appointed to take the company to the next level, including fully exploring the potential of emerging artificial intelligence technology. Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran speaks with Gera in this episode of Techopia Live.
