JAGGAER has appointed Gopinath GP Polavarapu as its chief digital and AI officer. In the new role, Polavarapu will contribute to JAGGAER’s end-to-end AI roadmap while building AI capacity with talent acquisition, an AI Centre of Excellence, and a hub for AI thought leadership.
Polavarapu brings with him a wealth of experience in enterprise AI solutions, most recently as the chief solutions officer at Kore.ai. He will collaborate with the Chief Product Officer Jon Lawrence, and Chief Strategic Officer Pascal d’Arc, to lead the JAGGAER AI transformation initiative.
“While JAGGAER has been leading with AI offerings in the procurement market for years, the addition of GP as our chief digital and AI officer will foster even faster innovation through generational technological transformation,” said JAAGAER Interim CEO Yancey Spruill.
“Each member of JAGGAER’s leadership team was selected for their unique background and talent to contribute to customer success, and GP is no exception in this regard,” he added. “The last five years will certainly not be the same as the next five years, and we welcome fresh perspectives to steward us through our next phase of growth with Agentic AI.”
“I look forward to working with JAGGAER, our leadership team, and our customers to reinforce JAGGAER’s position as the premier vertical AI spend management provider, delivering unmatched efficiency, compliance, and cost savings,” said Polavarapu.
