Nelson has worked in finance and accounting roles of other Atlanta-area companies, and began his career in the audit practice of Arthur Andersen where his clients included Georgia Power, Savannah Electric and Power, and SouthernLINC Wireless.

"Christian's experience is ideal to help lead Racemi through our next growth phase as we see increased demand for our cloud migration software that is translating to significant sales and revenue for our company," said Lawrence Guillory, CEO, of Racemi.

The company closed a $7 million Series B round of venture financing in July this year.
