Duos Technologies Adds Doug Recker to Lead Expansion

Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DUOT) has appointed telecommunications and data center executive Doug Recker as President, reporting to Chief Executive Officer Chuck Ferry. Recker, who has over three decades of industry experience, has been involved in the company’s expansion into Edge Data Centers and colocation markets through its Duos Edge AI subsidiary.

In his new role, Recker will assume broader responsibilities across the company, including oversight of Edge Data Center design and deployment. Duos states that its strategy focuses on delivering modular, localized computing capacity to underserved communities and mission-critical sectors such as schools, hospitals, local governments, and first responder networks.

Recker previously founded EdgePresence in 2017, acquired by Ubiquity in 2023, and Colo5 Data Centers LLC, acquired by Cologix in 2014. He is regarded as an early entrant in the edge data center market and has received several regional business awards.

Duos’ appointment comes as the company pursues an ambitious plan to roll out up to 15 Edge Data Centers under contract by the end of 2025. Projects already in progress include a facility in Victoria, Texas, designed to serve 37 school districts with compliance-oriented infrastructure for education and telemedicine. The company has also partnered with Accu-Tech to support supply chain reliability for its deployments.

Financial results show the company has recorded strong revenue growth, with a 280 percent year-over-year increase in GAAP revenue in Q2 2025. However, Duos remains unprofitable, with losses tied to higher operating expenses. Market analysts highlight the growth potential of its Edge AI subsidiary but also note execution risks related to deployment scale, cost management, and reliance on external partners.

Recker’s appointment adds leadership capacity at a time when Duos is expanding its pipeline and strengthening its management team following a recent capital raise. Whether the strategy can translate into sustained profitability will depend on the company’s ability to deliver on its deployment goals and control costs in the competitive digital infrastructure sector.
