Country Manager - Kathmandu

About Asseti

Asseti is a leading intelligent condition management and asset performance platform. We combine automation, data intelligence, and engineering rigour to support industrial and real-asset owners globally. Our teams operate across USA, Australia, South Africa and Nepal, working in close partnership to deliver world-class outcomes for our customers.

This is a senior leadership role for an experienced operational executive who thrives on building high-performance teams and running complex, multi-functional operations at scale.
