Leaders from ServiceNow, Workiva, and Zilliant to bolster enterprise SaaS and AI capabilities as market demand accelerates

BOSTON: Tempo Software, a leader in strategic portfolio management solutions, today announced the appointment of Kevin Nanney as Chief Product Officer and Shams Chauthani as Chief Technology Officer. The dual executive hires reflect growing market demand for adaptive portfolio management capabilities as enterprises face mounting pressure to align strategy and work with outcomes across increasingly complex initiatives.

Nanney joins Tempo from Iron Mountain, where he served as Senior Vice President of Global Product Management, Solutions & Marketing. He brings extensive experience scaling SaaS platforms, including previous leadership roles at Workiva and ServiceNow, where he drove product strategy for enterprise software solutions.

Chauthani comes to Tempo from Zilliant, where, as CTO and SVP Engineering, he led the transformation from single-product enterprise software to a cloud-native SaaS platform with six products spanning price and revenue management. His background also includes senior engineering leadership at SolarWinds, where he helped build what became a successful $5 billion public company serving IT management software customers.

"Enterprise teams are managing more complexity than ever – balancing competing priorities, adapting to constant change, and delivering strategic impact," said Vic Chynoweth, CEO of Tempo Software. "Kevin and Shams bring product vision and engineering expertise that will further enhance Tempo’s ability to help our customers navigate these complexities. Their experience building and scaling enterprise software will directly translate into stronger capabilities and faster innovation for the organizations that depend on Tempo to deliver outcomes."

The appointments come as Tempo experiences strong market momentum, with growing adoption of its integrated project and portfolio management solutions across enterprise, mid-market and SMB customers navigating complex strategic initiatives. Both executives will play critical roles in advancing Tempo's product roadmap and strengthening its position in the SPM market.

"The market is shifting away from rigid, top-down planning tools toward platforms that help organizations adapt in real-time," said Kevin Nanney, incoming Chief Product Officer. "Tempo's customers are already seeing the value of that approach, and my focus will be on accelerating our ability to deliver the enterprise-grade capabilities they need to manage portfolios that are more dynamic, distributed, and data-driven than ever before."

Chauthani's engineering leadership will be instrumental in scaling Tempo's technical infrastructure to support enterprise customers globally while maintaining the agility and innovation that have defined the company's growth.

"Throughout my career, I've seen how AI can drive transformational business outcomes – from generating significant revenue and margin growth for global companies to unlocking insights that reshape entire industries," said Shams Chauthani, incoming Chief Technology Officer.

"While building a robust, enterprise-grade platform for Tempo's SPM modules is essential, what truly excites me is leveraging AI to fundamentally transform how people manage and execute their work. We have the opportunity to redefine what's possible in strategic portfolio management."

The leadership appointments support Tempo's commitment to meeting customer demand through expanded product capabilities, deeper enterprise functionality, and continued innovation in adaptive strategic portfolio management. Both Nanney and Chauthani will be based remotely and report directly to Chynoweth.
