According to Gartner, CWM platforms "increasingly connect team productivity with operational work and AI-supported execution" that "enable end users to plan, coordinate and automate their work." Trusted by over 85% of the Fortune 500, Smartsheet transforms how organizations manage complex work by embedding AI into everyday operations. Most enterprises are investing heavily in AI, but that investment often stays siloed, layered onto individual tasks without connecting to the systems, data and context required to run the business. The result is a widening gap between what leaders intend and what actually gets executed, even as AI spend increases. Smartsheet believes its recognition as a Leader reflects a different approach: bringing AI directly into the projects, portfolios and processes where work already happens, so intelligence and execution move together instead of pulling apart. "We believe being recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Collaborative Work Management for four consecutive years reflects the value we deliver as our customers scale," said Pratima Arora, chief product and technology officer at Smartsheet. "That value comes from depth, not just scale. We've made our platform's understanding of how work gets done available to the AI tools our customers already use. Our goal isn't to build another assistant, but to give any AI that same context. That's the foundation we're buildingon as we help enterprise teams around the world execute with more clarity, control and speed." In the past year, Smartsheet has advanced its AI roadmap with the general availability of Smart Assist, which brings AI directly into how teams plan, track and get work done, and launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, giving customers the flexibility to bring their AI of choice into governed Smartsheet workspaces. Together, these capabilities are on track to drive more than 100 million AI requests annually. The company also added Scenario Planning and portfolio reporting features built for large, cross-functional teams. Customers cite that same combination of governance and usability as a differentiator. One IT manager on Gartner Peer Insights(TM) called Smartsheet their "core platform for collaboration, process improvement and decision making" that delivers "the security and governance needed for sensitive business information while still being accessible enough for teams to adopt." Smartsheet continues to innovate to help organizations turn AI ambition into operational reality. At its upcoming ENGAGE customer conference, the company will showcase how its platform serves as the execution layer where AI meets everyday work, helping teams connect data, decisions and outcomes at enterprise scale.

Smartsheet names Komal Thadani as Senior Director, EMEA Field & Partner Marketing. Smartsheet has named Komal Thadani as Senior Director, EMEA Field & Partner Marketing, adding a new leadership role focused on regional marketing, field programs, and partner engagement across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Thadani brings extensive experience in enterprise technology marketing and has worked across cloud, SaaS, and business technology companies. Before joining Smartsheet, she held senior marketing roles at ServiceNow, where she led EMEA solutions and industry marketing. Earlier in her career, she held marketing positions at Oracle, IBM, and Accenture, working across technology and enterprise-focused marketing programs. At ServiceNow, Thadani was responsible for solutions and industry marketing across EMEA, with experience spanning cloud and SaaS solutions. Her background also includes marketing strategy across different regional markets and technology segments. Her move to Smartsheet places her within the company's EMEA marketing organization, with responsibility for field and partner marketing. These functions typically connect regional marketing programs with sales teams and channel partners, helping coordinate campaigns, events, demand-generation activities, and partner engagement. The appointment comes as enterprise software companies increasingly rely on regional and partner ecosystems to support go-to-market activity. Field marketing teams often work closely with sales organizations to adapt global messaging for local markets, while partner marketing connects vendors with technology providers, resellers, and other ecosystem participants. Thadani's previous experience across enterprise technology companies provides a background in working with complex B2B products and regional marketing programs. Her appointment also reflects the expanding role of field and partner marketing as technology companies manage increasingly distributed sales and partner networks. At Smartsheet, her remit brings together two closely connected areas of B2B marketing, regional field activity and partner engagement, as the company continues to operate across the EMEA market.
