“The identity and access management industry is extremely complex and nuanced. While Simeio’s software partners help address certain aspects of identity and access management, there is a major gap when it comes to connecting these solutions together in a cohesive, user-friendly platform. This is what Simeio excels at and where I see the greatest opportunity for the Company,” said Schueler. “I am honored to take on the CEO role at Simeio in this pivotal point in our clients’ digital transformation. I have great admiration for the foundation Hemen has created, and I bring a shared commitment to grow Simeio’s people, partnerships and services, in response to the increasing importance of our customer’s identity requirements.”

Schueler has an MBA from Auburn University and a BS in Operations Management and Information Systems from Northern Illinois University.
