“Congratulations to our 2026 Pacesetter Award winners,” said Eric Laughlin, CEO at Agiloft. “Every one of these winners saw something in their contracting process that could work better, then brought people together to change it. The results are tangible: less manual work, clearer controls, and contract data that teams can use to make decisions. What impresses me most is that they’ve done this across legal, procurement, finance and operations, often at a scale where change is hard. They’re showing what’s possible when the people closest to the work have the tools and trust to improve it. I’m proud to recognize them.”
This year’s Pacesetters exemplify the transformative power of an AI-powered, data-first approach to CLM. As contracting becomes a responsibility shared across legal, procurement, finance and operations, the Pacesetters are showing what it looks like to give every team the same trusted data, controls and enterprise knowledge.
“Agiloft has helped Gore transform contracting into a more transparent, efficient, and data-driven process,” said Samantha Bates, Global Legal Operations Leader Legal, Compliance & Data Privacy at W. L. Gore & Associates. “Through standardized workflows, automation, and enhanced visibility into our contract portfolio, we're improving collaboration, accelerating contract execution, and enabling better business decisions across the enterprise.”
