Alan O'Herlihy, founder of AI technology specialist, Everseen, is moving away from the position of CEO and taking a place on the board. The search for his replacement is now underway.

The company’s Visual AI solutions help retailers to improve their bottom line by minimising shrink, streamlining operations, and delivering a better customer experience.

In a LinkedIn post, O'Herlihy said: “I founded this company 15 years ago because I knew we could bring huge, measurable value to retailers and solve a very real, very big business problem and that is just what we did! We’re now number one in our sector.”

He added that the Vision AI platform processes nearly six petabytes of video data daily across 120,000 Edge AI endpoints, and Everseen is driving hundreds of millions of dollars of recovery for its customers.

“As we enter an exciting new phase of growth, I am enthusiastic about continuing to shape our strategic direction and creative vision as I transition from CEO to a board seat where I will be continuing to advise the senior leadership team on strategy and in the selection of our next leader,” he said.

“This new role will allow me to remain deeply involved in guiding Everseen's evolution, while also giving me the flexibility to explore innovative opportunities in the rapidly advancing world of AI. I am really proud of the leadership team we have at Everseen and with the appointment of a new CEO and the continuing support of Crosspoint, I am confident we are positioning the compant for extraordinary success To those who walked this journey with me: thank you. And to the future leaders of Everseen: the best is yet to come.”

RTIH AI in Retail Awards

RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries. 

As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.

With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.

Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.

Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.
