Bonitasoft, a major player in Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, announces the appointment of Christophe Bouron as its new CEO. His arrival marks a new strategic step for the publisher, aimed at strengthening its international expansion and continuing its investments in technological innovation, particularly around AI.

Christophe Bouron succeeds Charles Souillard, the former CEO of Bonitasoft and co-founder of the company in 2009. As the new CEO of Bonitasoft, Christophe brings a wealth of experience in structuring and expanding successful tech companies in France. In recent years, he has led the transformation of PrestaShop's business model, helping to double the company's activity without fundraising.

Christophe is a recognized expert in the art of growing companies by activating powerful and sustainable development levers. His expertise in accelerating the growth of technology companies is a major asset for Bonitasoft.

“Joining Bonitasoft is an exciting challenge for  me. This company has a solid base of loyal customers, an innovative product, and recognized expertise in digital transformation. Our goal will be to strengthen our international presence, while continuing to innovate to ensure customer satisfaction,” Christophe says.

 

Aiming for acceleration and innovation

Since its inception, Bonitasoft has distinguished itself by its ability to innovate in the field of business process automation. The company, which up til now has been able to grow organically, now wants to reach for new horizons under the leadership of its new CEO. Christophe Bouron intends to strengthen Bonitasoft's capabilities in artificial intelligence, by integrating this technology into BPM to offer even more efficient offers adapted to the current challenges of companies.

“Artificial intelligence opens up new perspectives in terms of automation and optimization of business processes. We have the opportunity to become a leader in this field by integrating it into BPM and I am enthusiastic about leading this transformation. Bonitasoft has always been able to offer solutions capable of competing with the biggest software players. Our strength lies in our ability to innovate and adapt to customer needs. My role will be to consolidate this position and accelerate our growth while preserving our DNA as an agile and customer-oriented company.”

Frequently asked questions
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam.
How is Ofelia Assistant different from an AI chatbot or copilot?
Chatbots and copilots generate answers from general knowledge. Ofelia Assistant retrieves your enterprise procedures, guides employees through each step, and orchestrates actions across teams and systems. Not answers - execution, with full compliance and traceability.
Does it work with both Slack and Microsoft Teams?
Add your answer here.
What about security, compliance, and governance?
Built in from day one. 15+ years of enterprise BPA heritage underneath. Human-in-the-loop at critical steps. Full traceability by design. The AI guides employees through the right procedure — so compliance isn't enforced after the fact, it's the natural way work gets done.
What kind of knowledge can it access?
Your enterprise documentation: policies, procedures, SOPs, knowledge bases. Scope is defined per user profile and per geography. Ofelia answers only from authorized sources. When information is missing, it says so explicitly and points to the right human contact.
How fast can we start?
Weeks, not months. Phase one is the AI assistant: answers and team coordination in Slack or Teams, no system integration required. Real value from day one. From there, you grow into execution automation system by system, at your pace.
