Celigo recently expanded its operations in the Asia-Pacific region with a new headquarters office in the region, according to a press release.
The new venture will be led by former Zoom executive George Polyzos as the new vice president.
"We are firmly committed to supporting Celigo customers and partners across the globe, so it is important for us to build on that growth in a strategic way while continuing to offer world-class support for our growing customer roster in the region," Founder and CEO at Celigo, Jan Arendtsz, said. "George has deep experience taking SaaS companies from nascent to leading powerhouses in the APAC region, and we have no doubt he will do the same for Celigo."
Under his new role, Polyzos will oversee Celigo’s local team and support the accelerating demand shown by customers and partners, making use of the local market potential to grow Celigo's annual recurring revenue (ARR) percentage.
Before accepting his position with the company, he worked for Zoom as head of Upmarket, where he contributed to the growth of the company’s ANZ region.
"As a leading cloud ERP-vendor in Japan, we partnered with Celigo because our customers were demanding the best in integration and automation technology," said Fan Zhao of Blue Tiger Consulting. "With an expanded APAC presence, we will be able to serve even more customers and make business process automation the gold standard in the region."
The expansion follows recent significant expansion efforts, such as the company’s December 2021 $48 million in Series C funding agreement, which accelerated its growth in 2022.
"Celigo has been a trusted partner for more than five years. Through their integration platform they have supported our automation of manual processes and non disruptive consolidation of multiple systems globally to our core ERP. Leveraging out-of-the-box support and custom integration flows, we've been able to remain agile in embracing new systems and marketplaces while keeping costs low, which has allowed our teams to focus more on our high value strategic initiatives. We're very excited to work with the new APAC team and look forward to accomplishing even more with their support," said Scott Murray, chief information officer at KOOKAÏ.
The Eastern expansion follows a similar successful launch in the DASH region. The moves reflect the company’s effort to fulfill the needs of customers and partners worldwide.
"Celigo is experiencing the kind of growth people like myself dream about," Polyzos said. "I'm looking forward to building a team that can take Celigo's enterprise-wide automation solutions to the masses in APAC and continue the growth that has already been started there."
