Veteran Executive Brings Three Decades of Experience Scaling Technology-Enabled Services Businesses and Advancing Cost Transparency for Clients

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LJM Group (“LJM”), a tech-enabled provider of small parcel shipping cost optimization solutions, announced today that Rob Gelb has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Gelb brings three decades of experience building and scaling tech-enabled services businesses, much of it on the buyer’s side of complex, opaque pricing—first in workers’ compensation, then in group health, and now in parcel shipping. That experience aligns with LJM’s shipper-focused model and its mission to bring clients clarity, confidence, and control over logistics costs.

“I am honored to join LJM at such a pivotal moment,” said Gelb. “Over more than 20 years, this team has built a differentiated platform with a proven record of measurable results for shippers. I look forward to working with Ken, Kevin, Thomas, Kenneth, and the broader team to scale our technology, deepen client partnerships, and lead LJM into its next chapter.”

Gelb will lead all aspects of the business, while President and Founder Ken Wood will remain actively involved in key client relationships and LJM’s strategy for future growth.

“Rob’s track record of scaling tech-enabled services businesses and bringing transparency to opaque costs makes him the ideal leader for LJM’s next phase of growth,” said Wood. “The parcel shipping landscape continues to evolve rapidly, creating both challenges and opportunities for our clients. With Rob at the helm, we are well positioned to keep investing in our people, technology, and services while staying focused on the results that matter most to those we serve.”

Prior to joining LJM, Gelb spent more than seven years as CEO of Valenz Health, where he transformed a single point-solution provider into an integrated healthcare platform spanning cost containment, payment integrity, and self-funded employer solutions. Under his leadership, Valenz completed eight acquisitions, grew from 62 to 520 employees, and achieved approximately 30% compound annual growth, including more than 15% organic growth. The company was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in six of his seven years. Earlier in his career, he led strategy and growth at Coventry Workers’ Compensation Services and held senior leadership roles at York Risk Services Group, Intracorp, and Medlogix. Gelb is a Forbes Finance Council contributor and podcast host who writes and speaks on leadership, culture, and cost transparency. He holds a B.B.A. in Public Accounting from Hofstra University and is a CPA (inactive).

CUJO AI and F-Secure Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Seamless Consumer Security Across Home and Mobile

Published

By

Joint offering combines best-of-breed home network, endpoint and scam protection, helping Tier-1 CSPs strengthen consumer trust in the age of AI-driven threats.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CUJO AI, a global leader in cybersecurity, device and network intelligence for service providers, and F-Secure, a global leader in consumer cybersecurity and scam protection, today announced a strategic partnership to help the world’s leading Tier-1 Communication Service Providers (CSPs) deliver a seamless security experience that protects consumers across home networks and personal devices.

AI is rapidly changing the scam landscape, making fraudulent content easier to produce, more convincing and increasingly difficult for consumers to distinguish from legitimate interactions. At the same time, scams increasingly cross traditional boundaries between networks, devices, applications, and digital services.

The partnership brings together CUJO AI’s home network cybersecurity and granular device and network intelligence with F-Secure’s endpoint and embedded security capabilities, covering device, scam, identity and privacy protection. Together, the companies will help service providers protect consumers across the home network and individual devices while creating a seamless security experience at home and on the go. As consumers increasingly move between home broadband, mobile networks, applications and connected devices, their security needs extend across multiple environments. Yet protection is often delivered through separate products and experiences. CUJO AI and F-Secure are working together to simplify that landscape, helping service providers bring complementary cybersecurity capabilities into a more seamless and cohesive consumer experience.

“Consumers don’t think about security in silos; they simply expect to be protected wherever they connect,” said Remko Vos, CEO of CUJO AI. “We already enable service providers to protect millions of homes through advanced network-based cybersecurity, scam protection and device intelligence. By combining these capabilities with F-Secure’s endpoint security and scam protection expertise, we can help service providers close the gap between home network and device protection and create a more seamless security experience for consumers.”

CUJO AI provides cybersecurity directly at the home network level, protecting connected devices without requiring security software to be installed on each individual device. Its platform also provides deep intelligence into connected devices, applications and network behavior, helping service providers identify threats, understand their subscribers’ connected environments and deliver subscriber-facing security services at scale.

F-Secure complements these capabilities with endpoint and consumer cybersecurity solutions spanning device protection, scam protection, identity, privacy and embedded security, bringing visible value for consumers into everyday digital interactions. Together, the companies will reduce fragmentation between network and endpoint protection and help service providers deliver a more integrated security experience across home and mobile environments.

“The trust advantage for CSPs in the agentic AI era has never been clearer, and we recognize the importance of equipping the world’s leading providers to succeed in protecting their customers in a holistic way,” said Timo Laaksonen, President and CEO of F-Secure. “We are delighted to be partnering with CUJO AI to help us achieve this; this partnership demonstrates a natural evolution in providing the best-of-breed solution with holistic protection for an evolving threat landscape.”

Through the partnership, CUJO AI and F-Secure will collaborate with the world’s leading service providers on opportunities including integrated network and endpoint protection, seamless security across broadband and mobile environments, simplified customer experiences, and new security propositions designed to strengthen subscriber engagement, retention and monetization.

The partnership also creates opportunities to combine security and intelligence across the connected environment, helping operators better understand their customers’ devices and digital experiences while protecting them across multiple touchpoints.

About CUJO AI

CUJO AI enables service providers to understand, serve, and protect consumers with advanced cybersecurity and granular network and device intelligence. The CUJO AI Intelligence platform – built on 72,000 device models and deployed across 63 million homes – gives service providers deep, continuous visibility into every connected device and network behavior from day one.

CUJO AI Services delivers active security, digital parenting, and scam protection for service providers ready to monetize that intelligence with subscriber-facing products. Advanced AI algorithms help service providers uncover previously unavailable insights to raise the bar for customer experience and retention with new value propositions and improved operations.

CUJO AI is trusted by the world’s largest broadband operators, including Comcast, Charter Communications, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, TELUS, Sky Italia, Sky UK, Rogers, Cox, Shaw, Videotron, BT and EE.
