Thaddeus Segura Named Vice President of Data Products and Algorithms for Wiliot

He joins Wiliot after a decade at Walmart, where he was most recently responsible for evaluating emerging technologies and leading a team tasked with supply chain modernization.

“The advent of ambient IoT — connecting trillions of everyday things in the supply chain — is about to set off a massive influx of data that will give companies unprecedented visibility into all their operations,” said Wiliot CEO Tal Tamir. “Wiliot is committed to helping them turn visibility into intelligence. With his in-depth experience applying data to supply chains, Thaddeus is uniquely positioned to help companies apply Wiliot’s enabling ambient IoT technology to their greatest business challenges, from improving sustainability to boosting profitability.”

“Wiliot’s technology is completely different and more immediately applicable than anything I’ve seen before,” Segura said. “I knew the potential of tracking technologies like RFID, but Wiliot’s cost-effective, self-powering ambient IoT platform offers unconstrained scale for companies that move billions of products, packaging, and more per year. I wanted to be a part of that.

“Wiliot plans to democratize ambient IoT so anyone can use it and reap its benefits. When you think of all the use cases beyond inventory tracking, the potential is virtually unlimited. I’m excited to oversee Wiliot’s new Data Division in developing those use cases for real-world application.”

The Wiliot Data Division will include three primary business units: an analyst team, working with major accounts to deliver service in deriving business intelligence from their ambient IoT deployments; a data products team, developing reusable applications tailored to various markets so companies can easily begin applying insight to their business operations; and a core research team, making ambient IoT intelligence generally available and supporting the analyst and data products teams.
