We’re proud to share that Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer, Antoine Bisson, will become CEO at the end of 2025, leading Poka’s next chapter of growth and AI transformation. This transition follows Co-Founder and CEO Alexandre Leclerc decision to step down and return to his family business, Leclerc — the place where Poka’s founding vision first began. Reflecting on the moment, Alex shared that “Poka has been my life’s work — a vision that started on the plant floor and grew into a global platform helping manufacturers empower their frontline teams. The time has come to return home, but I do so knowing Poka is in the best possible hands.” As Antoine prepares to take on the CEO role, he emphasized the enduring belief that has guided Poka from day one: “The people closest to the work have the greatest potential to transform it — that belief continues to drive everything we do.” Together with IFS, Poka will continue empowering frontline teams through AI-powered tools that connect people, knowledge and processes to make industry stronger than ever.

What if your procurement teams could reclaim 35 hours a week to focus on strategic sourcing and supplier development? Today’s industrial teams are buried under emails, portals, spreadsheets, and vendor chaos. The result? Stockouts, over-ordering, and constant fire drills. A digital worker flips the script by: reading supplier communications, flagging risks, updating IFS Cloud, and recommending next best actions automatically. The impact is real: 90% faster processing and far fewer errors. This is how Industrial AI turns procurement from reactive to resilient. Following up on our Digital Worker Spotlight Series, watch this video to learn more about the Supplier Order Manager and explore how IFS Loops and digital workers help manufacturers apply Industrial AI to real workflows here: https://lnkd.in/g-B7rXnA #IndustrialAI #DigitalWorkers
