Celonis Appoints Process Mining Early Adopter and Expert Remy Lazarovici as Managing Director Germany, Austria, Switzerland

Celonis’ first full-time employee assumes leadership position to further drive dynamic development in the German-speaking market

NEW YORK and MUNICH, March 27, 2023 – Celonis, the global leader in Process Mining with headquarters in Munich and New York, today announced the appointment of Remy Lazarovici as Managing Director for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH). This new leadership position was created to reflect Celonis’ continued growth, the increasing demand for the software company’s technologies, and the importance of the DACH market. Lazarovici will also take on responsibility for the strategic and operational development of Celonis’ Munich location.

Celonis was founded in Munich in 2011. The company headquarters there is still Celonis’ largest location worldwide, as well as the heart of the development department. Due to close proximity and cooperation with the city’s universities as well as numerous local customers who were process mining early adopters, the Celonis headquarters in Munich remains a central innovation engine of the company. 

Lazarovici started as Celonis’ first full-time employee in 2012 and has since helped shape the company’s growth in various leadership roles. In his previous role as senior vice president for EMEA, the mathematics graduate was instrumental in driving Celonis’ go-to-market strategy and European expansion.

Lazarovici set ambitious goals for himself in his new role as Managing Director for the DACH region. “Companies are facing enormous challenges as they cope with macroeconomic headwinds, requiring a balancing act between becoming more profitable and at the same time more sustainable,” said Lazarovici. “I am convinced that process mining is key to meet these challenges. The potential for Celonis - as market leader and technological pioneer - to support companies along their journeys is immense. Already, most DAX companies - the largest and highest valued companies on the German stock market - rely on Celonis to optimize their processes, and we are represented in every industry.”

“By becoming even more focused in terms of personnel in our DACH market, we can better meet the needs of our customers and partners,” said Bastian Nominacher, co-CEO, co-founder and CFO of Celonis. “Remy has been with and helped shape the development of Celonis from the very beginning. He knows our corporate culture and our technology from the ground up, and with his profound industry knowledge and many years of sales expertise, is the ideal person to further expand Celonis’ strong presence in the DACH market. The goal is to drive the development of a local leadership team under his direction at our Munich headquarters - the birthplace of Celonis.” 

Opportunities to interact with the Celonis team and process mining experts from German companies will be available on May 23, at this year’s Celonis World Tour stop at Showpalast in Munich. Registration for the kick-off event of the global roadshow is now open here.
