CARPINTERIA, CA, Sep 24, 2025 – Procore Technologies has named Ajei Gopal as chief executive officer designate and board member. He holds this title until Nov 10, 2025, the anticipated start date when he will formally assume the role of CEO. He will succeed founder, president, and CEO Tooey Courtemanche, who will step down and continue as chair of the board.
Gopal has more than 35 years of experience leading technology companies. He served as president and CEO of Ansys from 2017 to 2025. During his time at Ansys, the company tripled its revenue and nearly quadrupled its market value. His tenure concluded with a $35 billion acquisition by Synopsys, where he later joined the 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, and founded the start-up ReefEdge Networks.
“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, revolutionizing one of the world’s most essential yet least digitized 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 organizations 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.”
