“With global scale, a growing customer base, best-in-class technology and a culture of innovation, Enverus’ growth potential is enormous,” said Hughes. “Manuj’s partnership, along with the support of our investors Hellman & Friedman and Genstar, has been instrumental in building Enverus into the leader in the energy-focused SaaS industry. As we approach $600 million in annual recurring revenue and continue to lead technology innovation for the energy industry, we’ve entered a new phase of growth. We’re operationally and strategically solid, and now is the right time to pass the reins to Manuj, whose vision and deep industry experience will take our fantastic team to even greater heights.”

We have a bright future ahead of us, and I look forward to continuing to benefit from Jeff’s mentorship and strategic vision as we work with the team to continue creating value and delivering extraordinary outcomes for our customers.”

Nikhanj’s career in energy began more than 20 years ago.
