“Nayaki is an energetic innovator with the passion and tenacity to achieve business results while balancing creativity and efficiency across global teams,” said Jeff Abbott, president of Ivanti. “She will be a valuable and instrumental addition to our executive team as we accelerate Ivanti’s delivery of technology innovation and leading products.”
Nayyar joins Ivanti from BMC where she was the president of the Digital Service and Operations Management Business Unit.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Osmania University (India) as well as a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Houston, and she is a graduate of the Stanford Executive Programme.
“As remote becomes the next normal and with explosive growth of devices and endpoints, companies must automate operations from cloud to edge to ensure secure delivery of services, applications and data to an increasingly distributed workforce,” said Nayyar. “Ivanti is in a unique position to deliver on this promise with powerful and proven endpoint and cybersecurity solutions. It’s an honour to join the Ivanti leadership team as we work together to chart the course to make the world more secure, IT more efficient and users more productive.”
