Last Reviewed: September 28, 2026

Executive Summary

Stephanie Feraday is President and Chief Executive Officer of aPriori Technologies, a Concord, Massachusetts software company that uses proprietary simulation engines and manufacturing data to tell manufacturers what a part will cost to make, whether it can be made as designed, and what its carbon footprint will be, from design through sourcing to production. She has been an executive officer of the privately held company since at least 2009 and now also sits on its board. Her background is in enterprise software marketing: she was Vice President of Marketing at the security software company Netegrity, and stayed on to run marketing for its products at Computer Associates when CA acquired it in 2004.

Career Highlights

• President and CEO of aPriori Technologies, which in August 2026 made its aiSource AI sourcing and negotiation product generally available after an early-access launch in May 2026.
• Named as an executive officer of aPriori in SEC filings since March 2009, and as an executive officer and director in October 2023.
• Vice President of Marketing at Netegrity, with an executive retention agreement dating from November 2002.
• Named by Computer Associates, on completing its acquisition of Netegrity in November 2004, as one of the key Netegrity executives joining CA, continuing to lead marketing for all Netegrity products.

Professional Journey

Feraday’s earliest career history on the public record is at Netegrity, a security software company, where she was Vice President of Marketing. Netegrity entered into an executive retention agreement with her in November 2002, and she remained an officer through the company’s sale to Computer Associates. When CA completed that acquisition in November 2004 it named her among the key Netegrity executives joining the company, continuing to lead marketing for all Netegrity products and reporting to CA co-founder Russ Artzt.

By March 2009 she was an executive officer of aPriori Technologies, then based in Concord, Massachusetts, alongside Eric Hiller and David Follett, and she now leads the company as President and Chief Executive Officer. aPriori sells what it calls AI-powered product intelligence: its platform models product cost, manufacturability and carbon footprint in real time, so that engineering, sourcing and manufacturing teams can make cost and design decisions earlier in the product lifecycle. The company cites a Forrester Total Economic Impact study putting customer return on investment at about 600% over three years.

Under her leadership the company has pushed that data into procurement. It introduced aiSource in early access in May 2026 and made it generally available in August 2026, pitching it at direct-materials buyers who negotiate with suppliers. “Buyers have always been at a disadvantage in supplier negotiations because the supplier knows the manufacturing math and the buyer often does not,” she said at the launch.
