A year-over-year gain of 219% in new bookings growth is the highlight of a record fourth quarter from financial supply-chain innovator Taulia, which added 50,000 suppliers across 71 countries in Q4. New customers include “two of the world’s top 10 retailers” as well as a “leading pharmaceutical manufacturer and one of the largest U.S. hospital networks.”

Taulia also announced hiring Barbara Holzapfel as its new chief marketing officer. Holzapfel was previously CMO at Addepar, and served on the leadership team at SAP.

Taulia_BarbaraHolzapfelTaulia CEO Cedric Bru called Holzapfel a “powerhouse” and praised her expertise in strategic marketing and operations. “From incubating SAP’s supplier-relationship management business to driving significant growth through innovation strategies, she has time and again proven her leadership and marketing savvy,” Bru said.

Taulia’s new CMO will join a relatively new C-level management. Earlier this month the company hired a new Chief Financial Officer, John Varughese, and Bru himself joined Taulia as CEO less than a year ago last April. Before working with SAP, Holzapfel did strategic marketing at The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia. She holds an MBA from the University of Michigan, and a business degree from Germany’s Universität des Saarlandes.

In addition to tripling new bookings from the previous year, Taulia highlighted a number of other quarterly and 2015 milestones:

  • Provided more than $50 billion in financing to suppliers in more than 100 countries
  • Maintained  a 100% customer renewal rate
  • Forged a strategic alliance with KPMG
  • Earned recognition as a 2015 National Best and Brightest Company to Work For
  • Raised $46 million in funding, bringing total capital to more than $130 million

Founded in June 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Taulia demonstrated its Enhanced Discounting at FinovateEurope 2015.

Taulia Raises $46 Millon in Series E; Names New CFO

In a round led by Zouk Capital, financial supply-chain specialist Taulia has raised $46 million in new funding.

A number of unnamed, new strategic and institutional investors participated in the round, as well as all of Taulia’s existing institutional investors. The new infusion of capital takes the company’s total to more than $130 million.

Taulia CEO Cedric Bru said the investment would help “further accelerate (Taulia’s) rapid expansion,” and praised the “global experience” of his company’s investors. “We are in the best position to fuel the next stage of Taulia’s explosive growth,” he said.

Zouk Capital CEO Samer Salty praised Taulia’s ability to “streamline and strengthen” the financial supply chain. Salty called the company a “clear match” with his firm’s strategy of “backing high-growth companies that use technology to create efficiency.”

Taulia uses advanced e-invoicing, supplier management, and supplier financing to help connect companies like Coca-Cola Bottling, Hallmark, John Deere, and other Fortune 500 firms to their suppliers. Since inception, Taulia has processed more than $150 billion in transactions for 700,000 suppliers in more than 100 countries.

Recent headlines for the company include its partnership with KPMG, announced in December, and joining the OFS Portal community in November. In July, Taulia earned a spot in CIO Review’s 20 Most Promising Procurement Solution Providers for 2015.

Taulia also announced today that John Varughese had joined the company as its new Chief Financial Officer. Formerly of Perella Weinberg Partners, Varughese will be responsible for all finance, legal, and human resource operations at Taulia. Bru, who joined Taulia as CEO last April, praised Varughese’s “strategic leadership and significant entrepreneurial experience.”

“(Varughese) helped some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley succeed,” Bru added, “and we can’t wait to put his skills to work as an integral part of our leadership team.”

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, Taulia demonstrated Taulia Enhanced Discounting (TED) at FinovateEurope 2015. The company also has offices in London, Dusseldorf, and Sofia.
