Fashion technology visionary Darioush Nikpour will lead the regional charge in the newly created role of Chief Commercial Officer.

For 4 years following the acquisition, Mr. Nikpour directed PLM software business development, professional services and product management for Gerber Technology. He most recently served as EVP of Business Development for 3D fashion design and development software provider Browzwear Solutions.
Ark Krulish served for more than 20 years in CIO and other executive roles for Burberry, Calvin Klein Jeanswear, Liz Claiborne, Salant and other major fashion retailers and brands.

“After reviewing the Setlog technology and customer successes from across the globe, I am pleased to offer a solution that will not only enhance a company’s current technology capability, but also enable a transformational culture to innovate newer business models based on collaboration, shared values, supply chain flexibility and social impact. I look forward to partnering with North American retailers, brands and their supplier community to achieve the greater agility, speed and transparency this amazing platform and team has to offer,” explained Nikpour.
Krulish added, “A key advantage of the OSCA platform is its ability to connect with ERP, PLM, supply chain, logistics, and other systems already in use across the extended supply chain. This smart-connective approach gives retailers and brands the ability to gain complete supply chain agility, visibility and compliance in a single, easy to use platform. I am excited with the opportunity to help companies benefit from this impressive solution.”
