Procore CFO on scaling a 24-year-old 'startup' with economies of scale and AI offerings
TiernanRayTech · x · 2026-11-15
Tech journalist Tiernan Ray interviewed Rachel Pyles, CFO of construction software maker Procore. Founder Tooey Courtemanche built the 24-year-old company from nothing and has handed the reins to two experienced operators: Pyles and CEO Ajei Gopal, who previously ran Ansys with her help before selling it to Synopsys.
Key points: Procore is transitioning from "startup" to substantial software maker with emerging signs of economies of scale; Pyles discusses optimization opportunities "across the P&L" and how newer AI offerings are supporting the company's growth.
