A signal of the company’s momentum, these new leadership appointments reflect Workato’s investment in helping its customers and partners innovate, empower, and scale.

“We are fortunate to have experienced several milestones this year, from being named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for iPaaS to announcing our Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS. We pride ourselves on striving for success and being an eclectic group of individuals,” said Vijay Tella, Co-founder, and CEO of Workato. “We are thrilled to celebrate and welcome new leaders across teams to support Workato’s continued growth. Chandar and Bhagat each bring unique expertise as we continue to cement ourselves as the leading enterprise orchestration platform.”

“When you look at a company at the simplest level, take a lemonade stand for example, however sophisticated the business is, the lemonade better be good. It was clear from the beginning that Workato has the best ‘lemonade’ in the enterprise orchestration category,” said Pattabhiram. “The market opportunity for integration and orchestration platforms is immense and essential. In this world of AI, companies across all industries must orchestrate their business processes across applications in the simplest and fastest way possible. With an incredible foundation in place, we’re going to be able to scale at speed, bringing all facets of the go-to-market organization together. I’m excited to join this journey with the Workato team, to create lasting change and opportunity.”
