NUSUTUS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS OCTOBER INTERIM CEO NuSutus (formerly Sutus) is a technology company that manufactures, distributes and supports small business telephony, IT hardware and software solutions. The technology was developed for quick serve restaurants and has proven to increase ticket sales, reduce IT and phone service costs as well as improve customer retention and experience. In 2013, Sutus, a venture capital backed company struggled to turn the corner from R&D to sustainable revenue and ultimately went into receivership. As a former vice president and consultant for Sutus, Geoff assisted in acquiring the assets and intellectual property to negotiate out of receivership in order to re-establish as a startup. By recruiting key leadership and streamlining operations NuSutus now operates with far fewer employees then the former Sutus. In addition Geoff re-established manufacturing, negotiated with key past Sutus customers and built a new sales model. NuSutus s new sales model has created brand new streams of revenue and scalable growth by allowing clients to purchase ongoing support as a monthly recurring membership.
