MultiSensor AI Appoints New CEO to Accelerate Strategic Growth

HOUSTON – MultiSensor AI Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSAI), a company focused on condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance technologies, has announced the appointment of Mr. Akram as its new Chief Executive Officer and President effective June 23, 2025. This leadership change is set to guide the company through its next phase of growth.

Currently valued at $25 million and trading near its 52-week low of $0.70, MultiSensor AI maintains a solid financial position with more cash than debt. This strong balance sheet provides the company with flexibility to fund growth initiatives despite its current market valuation.

Experience and Leadership to Drive Growth

David Gow, Chairman of MultiSensor AI, emphasized Mr. Akram’s extensive background in SaaS, industrial IoT, manufacturing, and data-driven platforms as pivotal for the company’s future success. Mr. Akram’s career includes leadership roles at Accenture, KPMG, and Honeywell, where he consistently delivered revenue growth and product innovation.

He also founded Orion, a SaaS platform company, where he built a recurring-revenue business model and led expansion efforts. More recently, he played a key role in growing ORBCOMM’s transportation division through strategic partnerships and global market development.

Mr. Akram holds an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, a Master’s in Information Management from Stevens Institute of Technology, and a Bachelor’s in Engineering from Northeastern University.

Strategic Timing Amid Growth Forecasts

MultiSensor AI reported $6.3 million in revenue over the last twelve months, with analysts projecting a 61% increase for fiscal year 2025. Stuart Flavin, III, the interim CEO, expressed confidence that Mr. Akram’s expertise aligns well with the company’s ambitions to lead in intelligent sensing solutions.

The board acknowledged Flavin’s leadership during the transition and looks forward to his ongoing role as a board member. Analysts expect MultiSensor AI to reach profitability this year, signaling positive momentum despite current losses.

Expansion with the CBM Superstore Launch

In addition to the leadership change, MultiSensor AI recently launched its e-commerce platform, the CBM Superstore. This online marketplace offers a broad selection of industrial sensors, software, and inspection services aimed at supporting predictive maintenance across industries.

Initially featuring thermal sensors from MultiSensor AI’s own ICI brand, the platform has expanded to include products from manufacturers such as FLIR, FOTRIC, Seek, and IRISS. The CBM Superstore integrates data from various sensors and uses artificial intelligence to deliver actionable insights that help reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Joshua Bondele, VP of Sales, highlighted the platform’s role in enhancing customer access to these technologies. Launched in Q1 2025 under Michael Primsky’s leadership, the initiative signals MultiSensor AI’s commitment to combining hardware and software solutions for better asset protection.

Looking Ahead

MultiSensor AI’s leadership update and product expansion reflect a clear strategy to grow its market presence in intelligent sensing and predictive maintenance. With solid financial footing and a new CEO bringing relevant industry experience, the company is positioned to pursue its growth targets effectively.

Executives and strategists monitoring industrial IoT and predictive maintenance sectors should watch MultiSensor AI’s evolving approach closely, as it aims to capitalize on increasing demand for AI-driven asset monitoring solutions.
