On Wednesday, Mr. Schaefer assumed the role of CEO and President succeeding Satya Akula who previously announced his retirement from Amyx in November. Schaefer said, “it is an honor to lead Amyx, especially in this time of record growth. Without hesitation, I can confidently say that we have one of the hardest working and most dedicated employee bases in the industry. From the technology we develop to improving warfighter readiness, to the analytics support that helps sustain the integrity of our capital markets, each day we’re making real contributions that positively affect our Country. I’m excited to continue our customer and employee-first culture that has been paramount to Amyx’s success.”
