Sierra Vista, AZ - Nemean Solutions, LLC (Nemean) announces a leadership change. Nemean CEO and Co-Founder Simon E. Ortiz has announced that he is stepping down as CEO, a role he has served since the company’s foundation in 2017, to serve as an advisor on newly established advisory board. Craig Mount, Nemean’s President and Co-Founder to assume CEO role. Simon provided the following statement today:

“Today I announce that I will be stepping aside as the CEO of Nemean effective 31 December 2025, but more importantly, it marks a new beginning for our company as I move over to a position as an advisor on Nemean’s newly established advisory board. Eight years ago, when I stepped into this role, I made a promise. Not to profess to be the smartest person in the room or to have all the answers, but rather a promise to be a steward of this organization’s values, its people, and its potential.

Looking back, I can say with certainty that any success we’ve achieved hasn’t been because of me, but because of all of you. You’ve been the innovators, the problem-solvers, the ones who showed up every day ready to make a difference. As I pass the baton to Craig, our new CEO, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and optimism. The path ahead may not always be easy, but I know this team has the talent, the passion, and the resilience to overcome any obstacle.

To everyone who has been part of this journey – our employees, customers, and partners – thank you. Your trust and support have meant everything. The best companies aren’t built by individuals; they’re built by teams who share a common vision and values. Keep supporting each other. Keep pushing for excellence. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your CEO. I can’t wait to see what you’ll achieve in the years to come.”

Craig will assume the title of “President and CEO” on 1 November 2025 and maintain the primary role in overseeing company growth and strategy and maintain his leadership roles within Nemean’s three current joint ventures with Trideum Corporation and Agile Defense. This transition has been planned and happening for many months behind the scenes, and the next two months represent a more formal public transition process. Simon will maintain his title as CEO under the “CEO Emeritus” role and serve as the primary advisor to the company and CEO in perpetuity.
