Germany-based sustainability software company osapiens announced the appointment of Stephan de Barse to the newly created position of President, with responsibility for leading all of the company’s go-to-market activities including sales, marketing, business development, solution engineering and partnerships.
Founded in 2018, osapiens provides cloud-based software solutions aimed at enabling organizations to automate complex compliance tasks, streamline operations, and monitor sustainability metrics in real time, and to comply with national and international sustainability regulations. The company announced a $100 million Series C fundraising round earlier this year, led by BlackRock and Temasek’s decarbonization-focused fund, Decarbonization Partners, and recently announced the acquisition of Nasdaq’s sustainability reporting and carbon accounting software platform Nasdaq Metrio.
According to osapiens, the new position will combine the company’s go-to-market activities under one roof, with the new structure reflecting the pace of the market as companies face growing regulatory complexity, while also needing to manage supplier risk and resilience across climate, geopolitical risk, sanctions and financial exposure.
De Barse joined osapiens as Chief Revenue Officer earlier this year from SAP, where he served as President of the Business Suite Organization at SAP. Prior to joining SAP, her served as Chief Revenue Officer at enterprise planning software provider o9 Solutions.
De Barse said:
“Compliance is at an inflection point: regulation keeps growing, and companies need to manage risk and increase resilience across their supply chains at the same time. By bringing sales, marketing, business development, solution engineering and partnerships together, we give customers one strategy and one experience from day one through long-term value.”
