About Igor
Igor, Inc. was founded in 2013 by Dwight Stewart, a successful entrepreneur with a vision to develop a smart building platform solution. Igor first made inroads as a successful connected lighting solution provider, quickly gaining a reputation for quality and winning licensing partnerships with leading luminaire manufacturers around the world. This leadership was validated by the invitation from industry leader, Cisco, to join their Digital Ceiling Partner Community.
Igor’s flagship product, Nexos, is a PoE-based IoT smart building platform that incorporates the hardware, software, and cloud analytics components to form the digital building 'backbone' that delivers superior smart building network reliability, bandwidth, and security. Combined with an open API and real-time platform engine, Nexos is a forward looking IoT smart building technology that incorporates full lighting controls with integration abilities to virtually any IoT device or smart building application available on the market. Nexos is the plural of the Latin nexus, meaning multiple connections from one central, most important part. The name also invokes the concept of creating the next operating system for today’s buildings. Nexos is a robust solution that supports a growing ecosystem of partners to support a diverse set of user needs.
Nexos is supported by the entire Igor team, including more than 25 employees directly involved with product development. The company’s product leaders – the Director of Software Development and Director of Hardware Engineering – were employees #1 and #2 at Igor and have built the Nexos product alongside Dwight Stewart before Igor got its name in 2013. Their long tenure, combined with their experienced team, provide a broad foundation for ongoing Nexos support and continuity in leadership and vision.
With a global market increasingly trending toward smart homes and businesses, Igor has quickly made a name for itself as a leading player in the future of the agile, smart building industry. With system installations in more than two dozen countries, and partnerships with industry leaders such as Cisco, Igor is an established global player in the IoT Smart Building industry.

Building Partnerships
We believe in hard work and the importance of building personal relationships with those who work alongside us as partners.
Our goal is to provide value directly to our partners and then empower them to create value for their customers. We are proud of our elegant technology and cutting-edge analytics because we are contributing to the development of truly smart buildings. Every day, our employees and partners work toward a unified vision and mission for the future of Igor and the future of Power-over-Ethernet technology.
Our Values
We are open. New ideas, discussions, and collaborations have led to the breakthroughs Igor has needed to lead in the Power-over-Ethernet industry. We value openness because it increases everyone's dedication to the final product or project. All ideas are encouraged and mistakes are okay as long as we maintain an open mind. Too many companies fail to adjust to the realities of the future because they are unwilling to accommodate new ideas. We value openness because it is valuable to our success and because it works.
We are authentic. As a hard-working team of Midwesterners, we value being true to ourselves. With Igor, our customers will never be surprised by what they get - we do what we say and we uphold our promises. Business partnerships require trust and respect, and we believe that by being our authentic selves, we will have a solid foundation on which to build our relationships.
We value all stakeholders. To Igor, all stakeholders are important. We believe that our company must deliver on profits for customers, provide returns to our shareholders, and treat our employees and neighbors as valued members of the Igor community. No one stakeholder can be sacrificed in the name of the other in the pursuit of profits. This is because we believe that Igor's best interest lies in balancing all stakeholder needs to ensure sustainable growth and global success.
By honoring our values, we can strive to pursue our mission and fulfill our long-term vision.
