Epignosis assigns Nikhil Arora as CEO

Epignosis has appointed Nikhil Arora to the position of CEO. Thanos Papangelis will evolve from the role of CEO to a board member and product & innovation advisor, effective from December 31, 2023.

Prior to joining Epignosis, Arora had a highly successful multi-decade career working for high-growth companies where he spearheaded their launch into new markets, product development, and the development of critical global initiatives. A former executive of GoDaddy, Intuit, WeWork and ADP, Nikhil has helped small and medium-sized companies in the EU, US and Asian markets to move upmarket and prepare for their next phase of growth. Arora's educational and professional experience allowed him to live in nearly 20 cities, which has been invaluable in giving him the skills and knowledge to grow businesses in the EU, United States, and Asian market. 

"The importance of upskilling and reskilling within businesses is here to stay. The work that Epignosis has been doing to make learning simple and scalable for companies is incredible. Thanos and Dimitiris have been able to bring their vision to life with Epignosis, and I see so much opportunity to grow the company further and expand our global footprint. I look forward to working hand-in-hand with Thanos next month to further dive into the business so we are set up to revolutionize the world of skilling in 2024 and beyond," commented CEO Nikhil Arora. "I have spent the last few months shadowing Thanos and listening to customers and employees to learn the company and product suite inside and out. As the world of work continues to evolve and companies double-down on learning and development initiatives internally, the potential is tremendous for Epignosis, its software suite, and future product offerings." 

Several candidates were considered for the position of CEO, and Epignosis's leadership team ultimately selected Arora due to his thoughtful and down-to-earth personality, attention to detail, superb communication skills, and impressive resume of global experience. 

"I have the utmost confidence in Nikhil, as I know he will be able to bring the business to new heights," said co-founder Thanos Papangelis. "Nikhil has a strong background in growing global businesses and - specifically - pushing companies to the next level in the HR technology sector. He is the embodiment of a great leader; he is passionate, smart, experienced in the space, and dedicated to the culture of our company and the happiness of our people. I am excited to watch him fully step into the role, and look forward to continuing to work with the product team as a product & innovation advisor on enhancing our software suite, which directly feeds my passion for creativity and product innovation." 

"There could not be a better time for a company to be in the LMS market," said Dimitris Tsingos, co-founder and President at Epignosis. "Under the inspired leadership of my co-founder Thanos we've created an incredible company serving thousands of customers all over the Globe; Now, both Thanos and I are thrilled to welcome Nikhil Arora as the organization's new leader, confident that he will scale Epignosis into the champion of the international LMS market", Tsingos concluded.
