Nexer Enterprise Applications names Chris Braisby Operations Director

Nexer Enterprise Applications has appointed Chris Braisby as its new Operations Director, bringing 15 years of senior experience in digital services to the company.

Leadership addition

The appointment of Chris Braisby comes as Nexer Enterprise Applications continues to expand its presence in the UK market, responding to enterprise customers' growing demands for clarity, control, and resilience in their digital investments.

Braisby has previously played a key role in supporting a global transformation business through significant organisational growth. At Nexer, his responsibilities will include leading operational strategy, with a particular focus on robust delivery processes and technology platforms that facilitate early risk identification, the elimination of inefficiencies, and the provision of insights needed for confident decision-making.

Business context

This leadership move follows a period of sustained financial growth for Nexer Enterprise Applications. The company recently reported a 35% year-on-year increase in turnover for the financial year ending late 2024, marking its fifth consecutive year of growth since its establishment in late 2019.

Braisby's arrival comes at a time when economic uncertainty is prompting business leaders to be more strategic about their digital transformation efforts and to scrutinise budgets more closely. The role is expected to bolster Nexer's ongoing commitment to operational excellence, particularly in ensuring systems are implemented in a way that promotes consistency, scalability, and adaptability for clients.

Operational focus

"Digital transformation is evolving, with businesses being more strategic about the types of systems and support they choose to secure the best ROI. Across the industry, we're seeing a clear shift towards solutions that provide real structure, resilience, and visibility. It's not just about modernising; it's about making sure the building blocks are in place for businesses to scale effectively and move with the market. I was drawn to Nexer's ethos of helping customers to approach transformation with purpose - from setting the right foundations to surfacing the insights that matter from the outset. I'm looking forward to getting started."

Braisby's remarks underscore a trend in digital transformation where organisations are focusing on long-term returns and adaptability, rather than solely modernising existing systems. His hands-on experience in supporting companies through rapid changes gives him insight into the challenges and pressures faced by businesses looking to gain greater structure and visibility through technology platforms.

Company perspective

"Chris is an experienced senior professional who will play a crucial strategic role in the Nexer team. In a market where delivery quality, reliability, and visibility are everything, his leadership will help us keep pace with demand while staying focused on what matters - long-term, high-impact outcomes for our clients."

Managing Director Colin Crow outlined the strategic significance of the appointment, highlighting the growing need to deliver consistent and reliable results as customer expectations and technological requirements evolve. With a focus on enterprise-level implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and PowerPlatform solutions, Nexer Enterprise Applications serves a range of sectors, including manufacturing, field service, wholesale distribution, construction, retail, and fashion.

Nexer Enterprise Applications operates as part of the wider Nexer Group, with more than 1,500 specialists globally, supporting mid-market and enterprise organisations to deploy and manage business applications designed for long-term performance.
