Tammi Tan has been appointed Global Marketing Lead at Celonis following the company’s acquisition of AI startup Ikigai, where she served as Head of Demand Generation.
The appointment reflects a broader trend in enterprise software, where acquisitions are increasingly being used to accelerate AI innovation and expand platform capabilities. Rather than building every capability internally, technology companies are integrating specialized AI startups to enhance their offerings while bringing experienced leadership into the organization.
Marketing leaders also play an important role during acquisitions. Beyond maintaining brand continuity, they help align messaging, integrate go-to-market teams and communicate the value of combined solutions to customers, partners and the broader market. As AI becomes central to enterprise transformation, marketers are expected to bridge product innovation with commercial execution.

Tan’s experience building demand generation in a fast-growing AI startup positions her well to support Celonis‘ next phase of growth. Her background in scaling marketing operations, developing pipeline strategies and supporting enterprise go-to-market initiatives aligns with the increasing emphasis on data-driven marketing within enterprise technology companies.
Her appointment highlights another industry trend: as AI startups mature or become part of larger enterprise platforms, marketing leaders with experience in high-growth environments are taking on broader strategic responsibilities. As organizations continue to invest in AI-powered business transformation, marketing leadership will remain essential in driving adoption, customer engagement and long-term growth.
