Before joining Keel, Aiyer held high-level positions at Schneider Electric and Dell Technologies. His transition to the infrastructure firm marks a significant shift in the company's executive direction, signaling a focus on scaling operations through seasoned industry expertise.

The compensation package reflects the weight of this new mandate. Aiyer earns an annual base salary of $500,000, with a performance-based bonus structure that could match his salary in full. Furthermore, the board has proposed a one-time equity grant consisting of 100,000 stock options and restricted stock units valued at $1.5 million, pending formal approval.
