Carpinteria-based Procore Technologies announced two executive leadership appointments.

Effective March 11, Rachel Pyles joined Procore as CFO Designate while Walt Hearn joined as chief revenue officer designate. 

Pyles will succeed Howard Fu as CFO and Treasurer and Hearn will succeed Larry Stack as CRO on April 1, 2026. At that time, Fu and Stack will move into strategic advisory roles to support a smooth transition, the company said in a press release.

“Having worked closely with them over the years, I can say with confidence that Rachel and Walt are proven and transformative leaders with deep expertise in the technology industry and impressive track records of driving growth and maximizing long-term stakeholder value,” said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of Procore. “They join us at a pivotal time — Procore is operating from a position of strength and as we look to the future, we are confident that our market-leading platform, AI capabilities, and relentless commitment to delivering for our customers will enable us to capture the significant opportunity ahead.”

Pyles brings over 20 years of finance leadership experience with a relentless focus on operational excellence and long-term value creation. As CFO at Ansys, Inc., she balanced meaningful revenue expansion with rigorous bottom-line discipline. In addition, Pyles has held various finance leadership roles at FIS, Worldpay, and Vantiv across corporate finance, finance transformation, and financial planning and analysis.

Hearn joined Ansys in 2007 and served in a variety of sales positions over his 18-year tenure. Prior to its acquisition by Synopsys, Inc., Hearn served as the head of worldwide sales and customer excellence, where he was responsible for all facets of global revenue and customer success. Under his leadership, Hearn consistently delivered double-digit revenue growth with a focus on deepening customer relationships and a commitment to talent development.
