Safe Software today announced the appointment of Nabil Lodey as VP EMEA, where he will drive growth in the company’s presence and customer base across the region. His appointment builds directly on Safe’s operational expansion into the UK and Ireland, announced in June 2025.

An experienced technology leader, Nabil brings more than a decade of experience building and scaling data and geospatial software businesses. He has held chief executive and senior leadership roles across the sector, with a consistent track record of driving rapid growth, building high-performing teams, and delivering strong commercial outcomes. He began his career in the Royal Navy, holds a degree in Economics from Queen Mary, University of London, and is a Sloan Fellow of London Business School.

Nabil joins a strengthened leadership team that has recently welcomed Judd Lee as Chief Financial Officer and Vanessa Ribreau as Chief People Officer.
