Uniserve Appoints Gautam Lohia as Chief Executive Officer, Bringing Founder-Operator Leadership to Accelerate Digital Infrastructure Strategy

• On April 7 2026 Uniserve appointed its Chairman, Gautam Lohia, as Chief Executive Officer effective immediately.
• Lohia brings founder/operator experience from building and selling Apply Digital (global digital transformation firm with >700 employees) and will lead Uniserve’s shift to a high‑margin digital infrastructure platform targeting Canadian SMBs.
• Outgoing CEO Kwin Grauer moves to an Executive Director role, remaining involved in growth initiatives.
• The release emphasizes expanding data centre and network footprint across Canada, enhancing cloud/managed‑service/cybersecurity capabilities, investing in talent, pursuing selective partnerships/acquisitions, and positioning Uniserve as Canada’s leading sovereign SMB digital infrastructure partner with AI‑driven services.

• The CEO change is largely expected: Lohia was appointed Chairman in December 2025 and had already signaled his intent to drive the digital‑infrastructure strategy.
• No new financial guidance, capital raise, or material operational milestone accompanies the announcement; it is a continuation of previously disclosed leadership plans.
• Market reaction historically to similar internal promotions at Uniserve has been muted, with price action showing range‑bound trading rather than sharp moves.
• Therefore the news represents routine, incremental positive reinforcement of management continuity rather than a material surprise.
