Lakhina remains with the firm and will “continue to be actively involved in directing the technology, supporting sales and corporate development for the company”, according to a statement.

New CEO Goel is a former executive for NetApp, a storage and data management solutions firm.

Guavus’s technology takes network, device, content and subscriber data and analyses it to help companies manage the technical aspects of running a mobile network as well as supporting sales, marketing and customer service functions by identifying patterns in customer behaviour.

In addition to Goel, the company has also appointed Bob Mansfield – the Australian businessman who previously led Optus Communications, Telstra and John Fairfax Holdings – to its industry advisory board.
