Celonis Product and Engineering Awards 2021

Our Product and Engineering Teams are at the heart of what we do, helping to shape the future of the Celonis Execution Management System. Their contributions to Celonis are immense, so in 2021, we launched a new global initiative, our Product and Engineering (PnE) Awards, to foster a culture of recognition within the teams. The PnE Awards were created to recognize and reward team members for their hard work and commitment and allow employees the opportunity to celebrate the successes of their peers. Celonauts nominated and voted for their PnE coworkers across seven different award categories, resulting in 20 winners for the first cohort. Here are just a few of the incredible team members behind our Process Mining technology and EMS platform, as we celebrate their continued success.
