Coticchia, who joined Sopheon as President in 2020, will also take a seat on the board of directors. With deep experience in the creation and growth of SaaS companies, Coticchia is an award-winning entrepreneur, business strategist, product manager and marketing expert.

Coticchia will spearhead Sopheon’s growth as the industry’s most versatile and powerful enterprise innovation management cloud platform. Michuda will focus on partnerships and acquisitions, in addition to his governance responsibilities as Executive Chairman.

“Digital transformation continues to accelerate, and innovation is an urgent imperative for virtually every company,” said Coticchia. “But fostering and governing innovation can be difficult in large organizations with diverse methodologies and siloed teams. Sopheon has a large opportunity to build upon its success at hundreds of companies worldwide to drive— and keep—innovation moving forward aggressively while still delivering resilient and reliable product experiences.”
