"Last quarter Simfoni announced a strategic Investment to further ramp our growth and meet the increasing demand for our innovative real Artificial Intelligence (AI) Spend Analytics SaaS application. Today I am proud to announce we are executing extremely well on our strategy, even moreso in these uncertain times when supply chain risk and cost visibility are paramount concerns. We have hired a proven leader, started the year off with the two strategic multiyear competitive wins; a leading global payment processor and a well-known private equity firm for their portfolio companies.

Under Stern's leadership CLM revenue grew over 500%, the company was cashflow positive for the first time in its 10-year history and the stock rose from $0.25 to over $10. Mr. Stern has also held leadership positions at Jelli, an iHeartMedia company (Ihrt), Model N (Modn), and Oracle (Orcl).
"I believe Simfoni has developed a truly differentiated solution for spend intelligence. The use of AI and the ability of the product to not only look backward at spend, but look forward to provide direction on where to manage risk and how to improve procurement effectiveness," said Mr. Stern. "Simfoni customers are well-positioned to answer tough decisions in the coming months, I have already spoken to many that feel using Simfoni has put them in control because they have the insights to make the right decisions."
