Procore's construction platform imagined with cloud-based AI overlays at a worksite, alongside a banner referencing a Napa golf sponsorship.
California, August 27, 2025
Procore announced a strategic leadership transition, naming its founder to move into an executive chairman role once a new CEO is appointed and adding a senior industry executive as Head of Industry Transformation. The company also revealed a multiyear cloud partnership to embed large language model services and AI agents into its construction management platform, and to list the product in the cloud provider’s marketplace. Separately, Procore became title sponsor of a Napa golf tournament that will open the FedExCup Fall Season, with event proceeds directed to regional and national charities.
Key developments: The founder and long-time chief executive of a major construction management software company will shift into an executive chairman position once a new CEO is named. At the same time, the company is launching a multiyear strategic partnership with a leading cloud provider, appointing a senior industry transformation leader, and taking on title sponsorship of a prominent PGA TOUR event in Napa Valley.
The moves mark a major pivot in corporate leadership, product strategy and market positioning. The cloud partnership and deeper use of artificial intelligence are intended to accelerate product innovation, bring expanded productivity tools to contractors and owners, and increase the company’s presence in digital construction workflows. The sponsorship of the Napa golf tournament is positioned as a community and brand initiative tied to hospitality and charitable giving in the region.
The agreement between the construction software platform and the cloud provider covers go-to-market collaboration, expanded engineering workstreams, and joint product development. As part of the deal, the construction management platform is now available through the cloud provider’s marketplace, and the company will integrate cloud-native AI services such as large language models into its offerings.
The platform plans to use those large language model services to power a suite of AI agents designed for construction-specific tasks. Expected agent capabilities include document analytics, task automation, and workflow assistance aimed at streamlining project delivery and lowering risk. The partnership also calls for closer cross-team engineering work between both companies to accelerate product releases and increase scale.
Leadership from the construction software firm describes the work as intended to improve AI-driven product development, enhance data interoperability and expand analytics. The cloud provider is framing the arrangement as another step into construction technology, building on existing integrations and partnerships in the sector.
One contractor has already begun collaborating with both companies to digitize its construction management processes, citing gains from real-time data, actionable project analytics and clearer project health indicators. The partnership does not include a direct monetary exchange between the two firms, and representatives expect integration to draw additional users through shared channels and marketplaces.
The company named a new Head of Industry Transformation. The appointee brings more than 25 years of international construction technology experience and a track record of process improvement, software and digital delivery work across multiple countries and firms. In the new role, the executive will advise product and sales engineering teams on customer and partner needs, and will focus on scaling adoption of digital solutions across owners, contractors and specialty firms.
The new executive previously held senior roles with cloud and technology firms and serves on advisory and nonprofit building-industry boards. In addition to the new corporate role, the executive has been appointed by a federal administration to a multiyear term on a national building sciences board that reviews standards and programs related to building information modeling and construction innovation.
Interest in digital twin technology continues to grow. Municipal digital twins have been used to display city metrics such as environmental data and to support operations. Contractors and software firms are increasingly applying digital twin concepts on projects to address labor shortages, supply chain challenges and operational handoffs. Industry leaders expect initial adoption to focus on operations and facility management, then expand into design and construction decision support over time.
The company will be the title sponsor of a long-running Napa golf tournament, which will be renamed the Procore Championship and serve as the kickoff for the FedExCup Fall season at the Silverado resort in September. All four rounds are scheduled for domestic television and streaming distribution, and featured group coverage will be available on tournament days. Net proceeds from the event will benefit regional and national charitable organizations through a local impact foundation focused on Napa Valley.
The construction management platform reports running over one million projects and more than a trillion dollars in construction volume on its system, with more than two million users worldwide. The company’s app marketplace offers partner solutions that integrate with the platform to help teams connect tools and workflows.
A1: The agreement covers go-to-market collaboration, joint product development, expanded engineering workstreams, marketplace availability, and integration of large language model services into construction workflows.
A2: AI will power agents for document analytics, task automation, workflow assistance and other features to help streamline project delivery, surface insights, and reduce risk.
A3: Yes. Net proceeds from the tournament will support charitable organizations through a foundation focused on Napa Valley and national causes.
A4: A senior industry executive with over 25 years of global construction technology experience will advise product and sales engineering teams, help scale digital solutions and support customer and partner strategies. The executive also serves on industry advisory boards and in national building sciences committees.
A5: The announced arrangement does not include a monetary component between the two companies; it focuses on technical, go-to-market and engineering collaboration.
