Gopal has more than 35 years of experience leading global technology companies and was most recently the president and CEO of Boston-based finite element analysis technology provider Ansys, Inc., from 2017 to 2025. Ansys more than tripled its revenue and nearly quadrupled its market value during Gopal's tenure at Ansys, which culminated in leading the company through its $35-billion acquisition by Synopsys, Inc., after which he was appointed to Synopsys' board of directors.

Prior to Ansys, Gopal held senior leadership positions at Hewlett-Packard, CA Technologies and Symantec, and served as an operating partner at Silver Lake, a private equity technology investment firm.

Courtemanche said he will remain an active board leader at Procore.

"I am incredibly proud of what we've built at Procore over the past 25 years," said Courtemanche.

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."
