admin The management of complex supply networks has become exponentially more difficult in recent years. More natural disasters, sweeping new international business sanctions, an uptick in cyberattacks on infrastructure, and a global pandemic have all contributed to major disruptions across industries.
Through Exiger, Brandon Daniels assures the transparency of work done. Transparency is business and ethical imperative for the company. Exiger is making the world a safe and more transparent place by streamlining and protecting supply chains while also minimizing risks.

Brandon’s Walk at Exiger
Brandon Daniels as the CEO of Exiger has pioneered the development and scaling of the innovative AI applications to solve complex supply chain challenges for Fortune 500 companies and 40+ government agencies.
A regulatory expert and technology practitioner, Brandon brings decades in senior management across the financial services, technology, life sciences and energy markets. Over the last 20 years, Brandon has managed some of the largest crises, compliance and risk management matters in the private and public sectors.
The seasoned tech executive has been tapped by the world’s most influential organizations to resolve high-profile crises, navigate complicated risk environments, and respond to urgent business problems with cutting edge technology – from the mid-2000s financial markets regulatory overhaul to supply chain management for the COVID-19 Joint Acquisition Task Force.
“Supply chain reform significantly accelerates market innovation,” Daniels says. “Enabling economic growth and creating a better, safer, and more transparent corporate environment means that we’re doing well and doing good.”
Prior to Exiger, Brandon served as President of Clutch Group and Vice President of CPA Global. Throughout his career, he’s appeared in virtually every major business outlet, including CNBC, Fox Business, Financial Times, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
“Brandon is a proven growth leader. He has deep knowledge of Exiger’s products and markets and has built meaningful relationships and trust with Exiger’s clients.” said Michael Beber, Co-founder and Board Chair of Exiger.
Journeying Through the Roadblocks
Manufacturing plants closed, raw materials became scarce, and transportation networks struggled to keep goods—from hospital ventilators to cases of toilet paper—moving from point A to point B.
“Who knew that supply chain issues would be a kitchen-table topic four years ago?” Daniels says. “The pandemic lifted the veil on the fragility of our supply chain dependencies.”
Government agencies turned to Exiger to help validate the capabilities of PPE and drug manufacturers, identify the source of vital medical-equipment components, and determine which companies could manufacture vaccines quickly and effectively. The technology also analysed the cyber security and financial resources of logistics suppliers.
“In 45 days, we helped the federal government to do billions of dollars of buying, avoiding $500 million of fraud, waste, and abuse,” Daniels says. “Our software is built to address the entire spectrum of supply chain risk—from the big moments when lives are on the line to the small, when manufacturers can improve their raw materials purchasing.”
Another challenge for Exiger was that they went from a seat-based technology company focused on a small total addressable market in 2017 to an enterprise technology organization working with the biggest corporations, financial institutions, and federal agencies in world in 2022. Challenges of scales and costs were placed before the company.

Daniels’ Plans for Exiger
Daniels firmly believes that there is no such thing as an unrealistic goal, just unrealistic plans to get to that goal. The company is ambitious, but they measure twice and cut once.
“Our pillar for Exiger is that we want to be THE global third party and supplier resilience and risk management platform for the largest corporations and the global corporate ecosystem.” Mentions Daniels.
They want to be known as the name everyone counts on when thinking about supplier, supply and market due diligence.
The CEO says. “In five years, ideally, we are effectively tripling our size today because we want to achieve our year-on-year ARR percentage growth goal in 23, 24, 25 and 26. If we put one foot in front of the other on ARR growth, it improves unit economics, EBITDA and potentially improves our current share price by five times. That is the type of company we want to be over the next three to five years.”
Daniels’ Advice for the Young Generations
Great Advice that Daniels got from his predecessors was, when one wants to achieve the metrics that prove out the most valuable attributes of a company in their space as opposed to being focused on an exit number. That is, establish, accomplish, and improve the characteristics of the most valuable version of the company they want it to become on a continuous basis.
“If you focus on achieving valuable attributes and continuously improving against those metrics you will get to the exit number anyway, while managing your business in a more practical, tactical way in the short and medium term.” Daniels mentions in a recent interview.
