Education

Nuti has a BSc. in Finance and Economics from C.W. Post College, part of Long Island University (1986). [5]

Career

While in college, Nuti worked for IBM, selling copiers. Following his graduation in 1986, Nuti accepted a full-time position with IBM, selling telephone systems for an entity IBM had recently acquired. [6] In 1988, Nuti left IBM for a start-up company, Network Equipment Technology, which was based in San Jose, California. In 1990, he joined Netrix as a regional manager. One of the company's customers was Cisco, which hired Nuti in 1991. [6]

In 1997, Nuti moved to Singapore and ran Cisco in the Asia/Pacific region. In 1999, he moved to London and ran Cisco Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and more than doubled Cisco's revenue in the region. [7] In 2001, he returned to Cisco's headquarters and became senior vice president responsible for both the company's Worldwide Service Provider business and the U.S. Theater Operations. [8] In this dual role, he led Cisco's field operations, systems engineering, professional services, marketing and U.S. sales divisions. [9]

In 2002, he left Cisco and joined Symbol Technologies as President and COO. [10] He became CEO in 2003 and returned the company to profitability for the first time in five years, increasing revenue growth by 24% from 2002-2004. [7]

NCR Corporation

When Nuti joined NCR in 2005 [11] its compound annual growth rate over the eight years following the spinoff was less than 1 percent. [4]

Nuti spent 2006-10 restructuring the company's entire supply chain. In January 2007, NCR announced a spinoff of Teradata, the company's data-warehousing business, [12] which was completed on October 1, 2007. [13] In 2009, NCR announced that its headquarters would move from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia. [2] [14] Nuti explained the decision in a 2012 interview: “The decision was good for the company long term, but we made it with a heavy heart.” [2]

In 2011, NCR started making investments in developing the company vision. NCR made a number of acquisitions including Radiant in 2011, [15] Retalix in 2013, [16] and Digital Insight in 2014. [17]

In November 2015, NCR announced a strategic partnership with Blackstone, which NCR said would accelerate its “ongoing strategic transformation into an integrated software and services company.” The agreement called for affiliates of Blackstone to invest $820 million in NCR in the form of perpetual convertible preferred shares. [18] NCR used the Blackstone investment to help fund a share repurchase through a self-tender offer for $1 billion of its common stock. [18]

As of 2016, NCR had $1.8 billion in software revenue and $600 million in cloud revenue, up from zero as recently as 2010. Its non-GAAP operating income increased from $383 million in 2010 to $840 million in 2016. [19]

On March 22, 2018, Nuti announced he was stepping down from the position of NCR's CEO due to health reasons. [20]

In June 2008, Nuti was appointed to Sprint Communications' Board of Directors, where he served until July 2013. [21] In May 2014, he was elected to the Board of Directors at Coach, Inc., [22] where he serves on the human resources committee. [23]

In 2014, Nuti became a member of the Georgia Institute of Technology advisory board, [8] where he served until 2017. In December 2013, he joined the Board of Directors of United Continental Holdings (United Airlines), [24] where he serves on finance, compensation, and public responsibility committees. [25] He is a trustee at Long Island University. [26] In the past, he served on the board of Opus360 Corp. [27]
