Icertis, the contract intelligence company that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM), announced that former BMW CEO Harald Krüger has joined its Advisory Board. Mr. Krüger’s exceptional career in the automotive industry, as well as board and advisory positions with global market leaders such as Deutsche Telekom AG Deutsche Lufthansa AG, and Salesforce (EMEA) offer Icertis invaluable expertise as the company transforms the foundation of commerce with the Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform.
Contracts are the single source of truth for all commercial, operational, and legal entitlements and obligations of a company. The ICI platform digitizes the contracting process, extracts the critical structured and unstructured data in contracts, connects this data to operational surround systems, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure the intent of every contract is correctly memorialized and fully realized.

I expect to see Icertis accelerate growth exponentially and am excited to be part of their journey.”
Mr. Krüger’s three-decade-long tenure with BMW Group began in 1992 and includes more than 10 years serving on BMW’s board of management, including four as CEO.
