Kajeet Appoints Paul Holtz as CFO to Drive Disciplined Growth in AI and IoT Connectivity

MCLEAN, Va. - Kajeet has named Paul Holtz as chief financial officer. Holtz will steer the company's financial strategy as Kajeet scales its Sentinel® platform and smartSIM offerings to meet rising demand for secure, intelligent connectivity across enterprise, public sector, and healthcare.

Holtz joins from KORE Wireless, where he served as executive vice president, CFO, and treasurer. He led the company's financial transformation, strategic planning, and IPO. Earlier in his career, he held senior finance roles at BlackBerry and began at KPMG Canada as an assurance manager.

Rob Adams, CEO of Kajeet, said Holtz's mix of financial depth and telecom experience will strengthen the company's strategic initiatives and help deliver intelligent connectivity solutions that enable innovation across industries.

Holtz noted that Kajeet's product foundation and customer focus position the company well in AI and IoT connectivity. He emphasized partnering with the leadership team to build on current momentum and drive sustainable growth.

Why this hire matters for executives
