CORK, Ireland, Sept. 9, 2021 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Everseen, the leader in Visual AI, announced today that Stephen “Steve” Luczo, Managing Partner of Crosspoint Capital Partners, will join the company’s Board of Directors.

“Steve is an accomplished leader who brings a wealth of expertise in business strategy that will be invaluable to Everseen,” said Alan O’Herlihy, founder and CEO of Everseen. “We are excited to welcome him to the Board, as his deep-sector knowledge and success in the technology industry will make a strong addition to our team as we continue to grow and navigate an evolving AI landscape.”
Luczo’s leadership has been recognized by the Harvard Business Review, which named him to its list of the 100 best performing CEOs in the world for four consecutive years, from 2014–2017. Prior to joining Seagate as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, Luczo worked as Senior Managing Director of the Global Technology Group of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
“I am thrilled to be joining Everseen’s Board and to work with the broader team to expand its impact beyond retail and into the fabric of every other business sector,” said Luczo. “Everseen’s technology is perfectly positioned to meet the needs of the future and will undoubtedly be ubiquitous in the coming years. I’m looking forward to working with a company that’s at the forefront of changing the way business is done for the better.”
