Smartsheet

Following nearly two decades at the helm of Smartsheet, Mark Mader will retire as CEO of the Bellevue-based firm at the end of September. He will also retire from the board of directors. Software industry veteran Sunny Gupta will assume the role of executive chair and acting CEO. In this role, Gupta will provide strategic oversight and operational support. Mader will remain with the company as an advisor and work closely with Gupta to ensure a smooth transition. Smartsheet's board has initiated a comprehensive search to identify a new CEO. Gupta brings more than 20 years of experience scaling high-growth software businesses. From 2007 to 2024, Gupta served as CEO of Apptio, which he co-founded before it was eventually acquired by IBM in 2023. He previously held leadership roles at Opsware, iConclude, and Rational Software. Smartsheet is an AI-powered, enterprise-grade modern work management platform.
