In 2006, founders Guy Haddleton, Sue Haddleton, and Michael Gould recognized a critical gap in enterprise planning: businesses were struggling with disconnected spreadsheets, fragmented data, and slow decision-making processes. They envisioned a platform that could connect planning across finance, sales, supply chain, and HR in real-time. This insight led to the creation of Anaplan, a cloud-native platform designed to transform how enterprises plan, model, and make decisions in today's complex business environment.
Today, Anaplan powers connected planning for over 2,400 global companies, including Fortune 50 leaders like Coca-Cola, LinkedIn, Adobe, LVMH, and Bayer. The company's AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform enables organizations to align strategic, financial, and operational plans across their entire business. Under CEO Charles Gottdiener's leadership since 2022, Anaplan continues to innovate with intelligent role-based AI agents, CoModeler technology, and industry-specific applications that help enterprises optimize decision-making at the speed of business. With a Winning Culture rooted in collaboration, innovation, and customer success, Anaplan is driving a new era of connected planning that empowers organizations to outpace competition and navigate market volatility with confidence.
