Anaplan

Anaplan, founded in 2006, builds a cloud-native connected planning platform that lets enterprises plan, model and make decisions across finance, sales, supply chain and human resources in real time. The system is designed to replace disconnected spreadsheets and fragmented data with a single modelling environment. Proprietary CoModeler technology underpins the platform's connected planning and decision-making capabilities, alongside real-time data integration across enterprise systems.

The company's technical work spans cloud computing, artificial intelligence and scenario planning. Its AI-driven Scenario Planning and Analysis Platform aligns strategic, financial and operational plans across a business, while role-based AI agents are built to support enterprise decision-making. Anaplan also develops industry-specific applications tailored to particular sectors. The platform is used by more than 2,400 global companies, including Fortune 50 firms such as Coca-Cola, LinkedIn, Adobe, LVMH and Bayer, spanning consumer goods, technology, luxury goods and pharmaceuticals.

Anaplan operates globally and describes its culture as rooted in collaboration, innovation and customer success. The company was founded to address enterprise pain points around disconnected spreadsheets, fragmented data and slow decision-making, and positions its products as a means for organisations to navigate market volatility. Charles Gottdiener has served as chief executive since 2022, with recent product focus on AI agents and industry-specific applications.
