Andy Joeres reposted thisAndy Joeres reposted thisToday, I'm so excited to share an important milestone: Zip has been named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Source-to-Pay Suites. The only procurement orchestration platform recognized in this category, and the first new globally-deployable entrant into the market in 20 years. We built intake and orchestration to fix what was broken in procurement. We knew there was a better way than the disconnected systems, the manual processes, and the workflows held together by spreadsheets and institutional knowledge. Our rapid growth and incredible customers validated the vision of what we were building. Then they pushed us further. Orchestration depth wasn't enough, though. They needed breadth. So we expanded the platform to span intake-to-pay, including source-to-pay, from end-to-end. If you work in enterprise technology, you know the Magic Quadrant is core part of how IT leaders evaluate platforms. This recognition signals that orchestration is not simply adjacent to S2P, but becoming foundational. To our customers who pushed us here, and to our product, engineering, and design teams who built it, we thank you. Learn more about what this means: https://lnkd.in/erFshuHM

Andy Joeres reposted thisAndy Joeres reposted thisWeeks away, but a full house again for our second #changetheenergy Exchange. No open invites. No pitching. No passengers. Just a table of CEOs, founders, leaders and wealth creators, the kind of people who don’t talk about growth on LinkedIn, they design it quietly, deliberately, and together. This time the conversation is Growth. Not in theory. Not in a buoyant economy. But in a 1% world, where growth is scarce, uneven, and brutally selective. What’s struck me most isn’t the titles, it’s the quality of thinking, the candour, the willingness to challenge and be challenged. The energy in the room is off the charts. This isn’t networking. It’s a vault. And what’s said in the room stays in the room. If this makes you curious, great. It probably means you’d belong at the table. More soon.

This year we asked more than 1,000 leaders across procurement, finance, IT, and operations how AI is actually changing their work. Among the teams seeing the most return, the same patterns show up again and again. We call them the Builders. Our new report shows what they do differently.

Andy Joeres liked thisAndy Joeres liked thisNext week, we’re doing something I’ve been looking forward to for a while. Every leader in enterprise AI is circling the same question right now: the models are ready, the agents are ready, so why do so many deployments stall? The answer is context. AI is only as good as its understanding of how a business actually runs, and that operational context has been the missing layer. Celonis provides it. It’s also the layer the whole industry is now converging on. The enterprise AI stack is settling into three parts data, context, and agentic execution and the world’s biggest Tech companies are building toward that middle layer. That’s the conversation the Middle East needs to be leading, not watching. So next week in Dubai, we’re bringing together a select group of our partners for a closed-door Celonis Partner Connect & Breakfast a morning with Celonis Middle East team to talk candidly about where we’re headed and how we scale Enterprise AI with Process Intelligence across the region. Our partner ecosystem is how this gets industrialized at scale. Can’t wait to host this room. More to follow.

Andy Joeres reacted on thisAndy Joeres reacted on thisMy career started in marketing, so I know, better than most, the value it can bring to both a company and the right individual. Working in marketing for a fast-paced tech company gave me the perfect foundation to become the entrepreneur and leader I am today. It taught me how to simplify complex ideas, build trust, create demand, understand customers and connect strategy with execution. That is why I am genuinely excited to share this opportunity at Unloq®... We are hiring a Founding Growth Marketing Lead. This is a blank canvas role. The right person will help shape how Unloq shows up in the market, how we tell our story, how we build trust, and how we create a growth engine around a genuinely novel AI and Decision Intelligence platform. I will be working closely with this person to build the brand, proposition, website, content engine, sales assets, campaigns and activity that help establish Unloq as a recognised leader in AI and Decision Intelligence. It is early. It will be fast-moving. There will not be a perfect brief, a huge team or a long runway. But there will be real ownership, direct founder access, strong ambition, a world-class AI engineering team, brilliant external specialists to work with, and the chance to build a marketing function from the ground up. This is for someone who can take complex, technical ideas and turn them into clear, credible and commercial stories. Someone who understands B2B tech, content, SEO, emerging AI-search visibility, demand generation and the importance of building assets that actually help sales move. Most importantly, it is for someone who wants to build. The role is full-time, Birmingham hybrid, competitive salary plus ESOP, and we are looking for someone to start as soon as possible. We are building something that does not really exist yet. It is early, it is hard, and the right person will find that exciting. #Hiring #MarketingJobs #B2BMarketing #GrowthMarketing #AI #Startups #BirminghamJobs #DecisionIntelligence

Andy Joeres reacted on thisAndy Joeres reacted on thisIt's only been a year since we officially started Unloq® and today I'm delighted to announce that we've raised $1.2m to accelerate the development of our decision intelligence platform. This will help us deliver on our vision to help businesses predict what happens next and act on it. Businesses are often surrounded by dashboards, reports, tools and AI experiments, but still have to make important decisions with too much uncertainty and not enough confidence about what is likely to happen next. That is the problem we are building Unloq to solve. The round was led by the West Midlands Co-Investment Fund (West Midlands Combined Authority / West Midlands Pension Fund), with backing from Future Planet Capital Regional, Mercia Ventures and Haatch. Thanks to Shubham Jaipuria, Rupert Lyle, Stephen Windsor, Fred Soneya, Charlie Weavers-Wright, Luize Silina, Jordan Ong and everyone else involved. Our AI platform is being built to help organisations move beyond retrospective reporting, connect internal business data with external market signals, predict likely outcomes and recommend practical actions, and measure results - all while keeping human judgement firmly at the centre. We are still early, but we have already had the opportunity to work with some great organisations on how AI can create measurable value inside real operating models. This funding gives us the platform to go further and faster. I am especially proud that we are building this from Birmingham and the West Midlands. As I'm sure most of you know by now, this region means a lot to me and I see great potential in it. We have the talent, industrial strength and entrepreneurial energy to produce world-class AI companies. As Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, says in the release: “I’m backing Unloq because their cutting-edge AI platform can help businesses across the region make the right decisions at the right time.” A huge thank you to our amazing team (you are rockstars 🤘) investors, partners, customers and everyone who has supported us so far 🙌 And, of course, thank you to Satyen Fakey. Building with someone who combines technical depth, commercial instinct and absolute commitment to the mission makes all the difference.

Andy Joeres liked thisAndy Joeres liked thisJust back from a week in Riyadh and I'm still buzzing. The energy is unlike anywhere else right now. You can feel it the moment you land: a city moving fast, building boldly, and brimming with ambition. What struck me most was the people. Warm, welcoming, optimistic and genuinely excited about where things are heading. Every conversation, whether over coffee or in the boardroom, carried the same sense of momentum. The opportunity for tech and innovation here is enormous. Saudi isn't just talking about digital transformation it's living it, at pace and at scale. The pace of change, the appetite for new ideas, and the long-term vision make it one of the most exciting places in the world to do business today. The future being built here is real, and it's only just getting started. 🇸🇦 If you're working in tech or innovation in the Kingdom, or thinking about it I'd love to connect. #celonis #processintelligence #AI #Riyadh #SaudiArabia #Innovation #Tech #Vision2030 Hani Enayah Taufiq Rahman Abdelrahman Muneer Julien Hobeika Loubnaâ AL-HADDAD Laith Amini David Ekmekjian

A full pipeline means nothing if the opportunities within it aren’t real. Sales excellence begins with qualification, but achieving consistency across teams is rarely simple. Our latest post explores how disciplined qualification builds transparency, ownership, and stronger collaboration across sales and leadership, and how Dynamics 365 can help make it happen. 👉 Achieving Sales Excellence Through Qualified Leads https://lnkd.in/e8U6YZeH #Dynamics365 #SalesExcellence #CRMTransformation #OperationalLeadership #MicrosoftCopilot #UKBusiness
