Robotics and artificial intelligence firm Dexory has opened its North American headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
The London-based firm, which announced its move into the US via a partnership earlier this year and also ranked No.2 on our RetailTech 50, has also appointed a COO in Kristen Shannon.
Shannon brings a wealth of experience in scaling companies, building processes and strategic plans for businesses such as Monzo, Cisco Meraki and Sonantic. She will work alongside co-founders Andrei Danescu, CEO, Adrian Negoita, CTO, and Oana Jinga, CC&PO.
“Businesses across the globe are looking at extracting more insights from their warehousing operations and this is where Dexory can rapidly help businesses unlock actionable data insights from the warehouse that help boost efficiencies across the board,” said Danescu.
“After entering the US market, we’re excited to open new offices in Nashville and appoint Kristen to accelerate our scale, drive new levels of efficiency and reimagine supply chain operations.”

The Nashville base will serve as a hub for Dexory where it can showcase and rapidly deploy its robots to various locations across North America, have access to technical talent and benefit from good transportation links.
The offices will also be home to part of Dexory’s support team, a base of operations for its growing sales team, as well as a customer innovation centre.
With extensive experience advising CEOs, founders and senior executives, Shannon’s responsibilities will include scaling the company globally, with a specific focus on the US market. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Shannon will be based at Dexory’s main HQ in the United Kingdom.
“Businesses are looking at new ways of doing things and Dexory is well placed in the market through its product offering, innovations and vision,” she said. “I am delighted to have been entrusted with the responsibility to scale the company and in the months ahead we will continue to build business processes to ensure that Dexory becomes the go-to solution for warehouses using autonomous tools.”
