Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, announced the appointment of Ajei Gopal as Chief Executive Officer Designate, and a member of the company’s Board of Directors. Gopal will succeed Procore’s Founder, President, and CEO Tooey Courtemanche, following the public announcement of the company’s Q3 financial results, with an anticipated start date of November 10, 2025. Courtemanche will then transition out of operational responsibilities and focus on his role as Chair of the Board of Directors.
Gopal has over 35 years of proven experience leading global technology companies at scale, most recently serving as the President and CEO of Ansys, Inc. from 2017 to 2025. Under Gopal’s leadership, Ansys more than tripled its revenue, nearly quadrupled its market value, and became the global leader in engineering simulation–joining the ranks of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100, and earning international recognition as a top employer. Gopal’s tenure at Ansys culminated in leading the company through its $35 billion acquisition by Synopsys, Inc., after which he was appointed to Synopsys’s Board of Directors.
Prior to Ansys, Gopal held senior leadership positions at Hewlett-Packard, CA Technologies, and Symantec, served as an operating partner at Silver Lake, a leading private equity technology investment firm, and founded the start-up ReefEdge Networks. Together, these experiences have shaped him into a versatile leader who knows how to scale innovation, navigate complexity, and deliver lasting impact.
“Procore is one of the most transformative companies in the market today. Its award-winning platform and culture have cemented its status as the clear category leader, revolutionising one of the world’s most essential yet least digitised industries,” said Gopal. “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.”
“I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Procore over the past 25 years,” said Courtemanche. “It’s a testament to the dedication of our employees and the partnership of the industry that I love. We’ve found an exceptional leader in Ajei, who understands that Procore does more than build software—we’re a mission-driven platform empowering people to build the places that shape our world. Ajei’s experience leading a vertical software company to billions in revenue uniquely positions him to help us scale and capture the opportunity ahead. I am excited about what’s next and look forward to supporting Ajei in my role as Chair, where my commitment to our customers, the industry, and Procore’s success will remain as strong as ever.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am thrilled to welcome Ajei as Procore’s next CEO,” said Graham Smith, Lead Independent Director. “Ajei’s extensive experience and track record of driving efficient growth, innovation, and operational excellence at world-class technology organisations make him exceptionally well-suited to guide Procore into the future and continue to deliver value for all of our stakeholders. I also want to express our deepest gratitude to Tooey for his visionary leadership in building Procore from an idea into one of the most widely used construction management platforms in the world and transforming the way construction gets done.”
Procore reaffirms its third quarter fiscal 2025 and full-year fiscal 2025 guidance, as previously announced in its earnings release for its second quarter 2025 financial results on July 31, 2025.
