Mr. Bakshi is a seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record for developing innovative, high-growth and profitable technology companies.

Prior to leading Apivio to its acquisition, Mr. Bakshi was Co-Founder, President, CEO and Chairman of Silent Witness Enterprises Ltd., a technology company previously listed on the TSX and NASDAQ, where he successfully led the company’s growth strategy until its acquisition by Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) in 2003.
