Procore Technologies, a provider of construction management software, has announced the appointment of Ajei Gopal as Chief Executive Officer Designate and member of the Board of Directors. Gopal will assume the role on November 10, 2025, following the release of Procore’s third-quarter financial results. He succeeds Founder, President, and CEO Tooey Courtemanche, who will transition from operational duties to serve as Chair of the Board.
Gopal brings over 35 years of leadership experience, most notably as CEO of Ansys, where he guided the company through a period of significant growth and its $35 billion acquisition by Synopsys. He has also held senior positions at Hewlett-Packard, CA Technologies, and Symantec, in addition to serving as an operating partner at Silver Lake.
In prepared remarks, Gopal said, “Like Tooey, I’m passionate about empowering people to build the physical world through digital innovation and am deeply inspired by the industry’s sense of purpose and Procore’s deep customer-centricity. Tooey has built a truly exceptional company, and I couldn’t be more honored that he and the Board have put their trust in me to lead Procore through its next phase of growth.”
Courtemanche stated, “Ajei’s experience leading a vertical software company to billions in revenue uniquely positions him to help us scale and capture the opportunity ahead.” Graham Smith, Lead Independent Director, added, “Ajei’s extensive experience and track record of driving efficient growth, innovation, and operational excellence at world-class technology organizations make him exceptionally well-suited to guide Procore into the future.”
