Stonhaus, a two-decade enterprise sales veteran who helped build Ironclad into a category-defining company, joins Zip as the AI procurement platform enters its next phase of growth<\/p>\n
Zip, the AI platform for enterprise procurement, today announced the appointment of Dallas Stonhaus as Chief Sales Officer. Stonhaus brings more than two decades of enterprise sales leadership across two of the most significant SaaS companies of the past decade \u2013 Salesforce and Ironclad \u2013 and will lead Zip\u2019s global sales organization as the company scales its AI-powered procurement platform across the Fortune 500.<\/p>\n
The hire signals Zip\u2019s intent to aggressively expand its enterprise footprint. In just five years, the company has saved customers more than $6 billion, orchestrated hundreds of billions in spend, and earned the trust of major enterprises including T-Mobile, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Snowflake, Anthropic, Discover, Dollar Tree, and John Deere, among others. Zip was recently named a Visionary in the Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites, the youngest company ever recognized.<\/p>\n
\u201cPurchasing is one of the largest cost centers in any enterprise and one of the last to be modernized. The opportunity in front of us is massive, and we need a sales leader who has built and scaled world-class enterprise organizations before,\u201d said Rujul Zaparde, Co-founder and CEO of Zip. \u201cDallas did exactly that at Ironclad, helping transform a startup into the market leader in contract lifecycle management. He\u2019s done this before, and we\u2019re thrilled to have him do it again at Zip.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stonhaus spent 15 years at Salesforce, where he rose from an early sales role to senior enterprise leadership as the company grew from roughly 700 employees to more than 70,000. He went on to serve as Chief Sales Officer at Ironclad, where he built the enterprise sales organization from the ground up and helped grow revenue more than 10x.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Ironclad, I saw what happens when you take a legacy process that large enterprises have struggled with for decades and give them a modern, elegant platform that actually works,\u201d said Stonhaus. \u201cZip is doing the same thing for procurement, but the opportunity is even bigger. This is the largest, most broken process in enterprise finance, and Zip has the product, the customers, and the AI innovation to define and own this category for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
At Zip, Stonhaus will oversee the company\u2019s full sales organization, including enterprise and commercial sales, business development, and revenue operations. He joins at a moment of significant momentum: Zip launched over 50 specialized AI agents last year, and the impact has been clear. OpenAI saves 1,400 hours annually with Zip\u2019s AI suite, while Canva has boosted procurement productivity by 250%. The company more than doubled headcount to over 700 employees.<\/p>\n
Zip is backed by $371 million in funding at a $2.2 billion valuation from investors including BOND, CRV, Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and DST Global.<\/p>\n
