Professor Marcello La Rosa, CEO and Co-founder of Apromore
Professor Marcello La Rosa spent over a decade advancing process mining research alongside collaborators from the University of Melbourne, Queensland University of Technology, the University of Tartu, and institutions worldwide. Together, they spun that work into Apromore – an enterprise-grade process intelligence platform enabling businesses gain deeper insights into their operations and optimise their performance.
When we first sat down with Professor La Rosa in 2023, he told us he wanted Apromore to become “a strategic topic within an organisation” within five years. This time, we caught up with him to reflect on how far Apromore has come, what the Salesforce acquisition means for the platform, and what he'd tell the next generation of founders and researchers standing at the beginning of a similar path.
