Experienced product leader strengthens Nicus’ focus on AI, customer-driven innovation, and scalable execution as the company enters its next phase of growth

ROANOKE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nicus Software, Inc. (Nicus), a leading provider of enterprise IT Financial Management (ITFM) solutions, today announced the appointment of Adam Garland as Chief Product Officer. Garland will lead Nicus’ product strategy, product management, and design, with a focus on delivering AI-enabled insights and value-driven capabilities that help enterprises better understand, manage, and govern technology investments.

Garland joins Nicus at a pivotal time as organizations face growing pressure to justify technology spending, manage rising AI and cloud costs, and align investments to rapidly changing business priorities. His appointment reinforces Nicus’ commitment to product-led innovation that moves beyond transparency to actionable, defensible decision-making.

“Adam brings exactly the product leadership Nicus needs at this stage of our growth,” said Eric Stoop, Chief Executive Officer of Nicus. “He has a proven ability to translate complex customer needs into scalable platforms, while keeping outcomes and value at the center. As AI becomes an increasingly material driver of technology spend, Adam’s experience will help ensure Nicus continues to deliver trusted insight and clarity for our customers.”

Garland is a product management executive with more than 20 years of experience scaling enterprise platforms and vertical-market SaaS products across education, travel, community, and e-commerce. Most recently, he led product management, design, and engineering at Ready Education, where he unified a multi-product SaaS portfolio following private equity investment and delivered a next-generation platform serving more than 500 universities and millions of users worldwide.

Previously, Garland spent over a decade at EF Educational Tours, where he led digital product management across five business units and built the company’s global product management practice. His work drove significant improvements in customer experience, sales performance, and operational efficiency. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at Vistaprint and Accenture, grounding his leadership in large-scale platform development, performance management, and data-driven decision-making.

As part of this leadership evolution, Janie Longfellow will continue in her role as Chief Technology Officer and will assume the additional role of Chief Operating Officer. In this expanded capacity, Longfellow will continue to lead engineering while overseeing operational execution, scalability, and delivery—ensuring product strategy is translated into reliable, enterprise-ready solutions for Nicus customers.

“Together, Adam and Janie bring deep, complementary leadership across product, engineering, and operations,” added Stoop. “This combination positions Nicus to execute with focus and confidence as we continue to help customers govern and defend technology investment in an increasingly complex, AI-driven environment.”
