Previously, Estep held leadership positions with Private Equity-backed SaaS company ECi Software Solutions as global Vice President of Finance, where he led financial functions for reporting, planning, tax, bank relations, M&A activities, and systems across three continents supporting 14,000 customers. Before ECi, he held various executive leadership roles with Nokia and facilitated growth and exit of middle-market companies Softcard, which was acquired by Google, and a tech-enabled services business ACTLE, which is now owned by FedEx. Ray began his career in the Washington, D.C. area with PwC/Coopers Consulting in the Privatization and M&A unit and then went on to co-found digital media company CMC International, which was acquired by Sanctuary Entertainment Ltd.
The appointment comes during an active and ongoing funding round that to date has secured commitments from Ventek Ventures, Ayre Ventures, several family offices and a number of angel investors.
