I am thrilled to be part of the team and contribute to its next generation of growth and innovation.”

Prior to joining Insight Sourcing Group, Kothari was the Chief Revenue Officer of Trax Retail. While at Trax, Kothari was instrumental in leveraging cutting-edge computer vision technology to drive growth in the consumer products industry. Thanks to his leadership, revenue at Trax grew significantly, helping the company to achieve unicorn status as a leading player in the SaaS space. Kothari has a proven track record of success and a deep understanding of emerging technologies.

“I, along with others from the firm, worked with Bob at Procurian in the early days and we share a common DNA. He has grown into one of the top executives and thinkers in our space and brings a proven track record of developing successful go-to-market strategies for new and disruptive products,” said Tom Beaty, Founder and CEO of Insight Sourcing Group. “We are excited to join forces once again with Bob to focus on growth and innovation as we advance our goal of driving excellence in procurement for our corporate and private equity clients.”
