REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 12, 2026 – Agiloft, the global leader in data-first contract lifecycle management (CLM), today announced that Nick Bowles has joined Agiloft as Senior Vice President of EMEA, and longtime Agiloft leader Jim Leason will transition into a new role as Managing Director of EMEA Strategy & Customer Advisory. The moves come as Agiloft continues to rapidly expand its footprint across EMEA—a region that already anchors some of its largest customer deployments globally—and where its DACH pipeline has grown 10x over the past year.
“As we grow, our go-to-market has to evolve,” said Eric Laughlin, CEO of Agiloft. “In EMEA, that means meeting enterprise customers where they are, with the right balance of direct sales and strategic partnerships. Global organizations are dealing with more complexity, more pressure to move quickly, and higher expectations from their technology partners. Nick and Jim understand how to build the kind of regional presence and partner ecosystem that helps customers move faster and get more value from their contracts.”
Bowles brings more than 20 years of enterprise software leadership to Agiloft. He most recently led the EMEA and APAC business at Coveo, following leadership roles at ServiceMax, Quinyx, and Outreach. Throughout his career, he has built and scaled enterprise sales teams across international markets.
“Agiloft is uniquely positioned to help organizations across EMEA transform how they manage contracts,” said Bowles. “I look forward to working with our customers, partners and team to accelerate that opportunity.”
Following a successful tenure building Agiloft’s EMEA foundation, team, and customer base, Leason will transition to a role focused on customer advisory. In this new capacity, he will focus on driving executive advisory initiatives and supporting the region's most significant, complex enterprise customers. Leason will leverage his deep domain expertise to guide strategic corporate conversations, strengthen partner alliances, and champion Agiloft’s market presence across the region.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built in EMEA over the past 5 years, but we’re just getting started,” said Leason. “Partners have always been a big part of how we scale. I’m excited to focus on deepening those relationships and creating even more value for our customers across the region.”
