Highlights

A new chief executive has taken the helm at PlanIT Geo™, the urban forestry software and services company now backed by Scottsdale-based Waverock Software, according to a LinkedIn post published Tuesday.

The incoming CEO, whose name does not appear in the source material, described the appointment as an honor and credited founder Ian Hanou with building the company into what the post calls a global leader in urban forestry, software and services that help cities, institutions, and tree care professionals manage urban forests.

The leadership transition follows PlanIT Geo's acquisition by Waverock Software, which closed in early April. Waverock is based in Scottsdale. The deal, described by PlanIT Geo as the culmination of a years-long search for a partner, gives the Scottsdale acquirer a geospatial technology platform with more than 3,600 LinkedIn followers and an established client base in municipal and institutional forestry management.

PlanIT Geo previously named a President and Chief Operating Officer, per a separate announcement on the company's website, suggesting the post-acquisition leadership structure is still being filled out.

The new CEO's full name and prior background were not disclosed in the source material. A formal announcement from Waverock or PlanIT Geo is expected to follow.
