MUNICH, 26 November 2025 – Celonis, a global leader in process intelligence and business AI enablement, is expanding its commitment to the public sector, laying the foundation for digital transformation and the long-term modernization of public administration. The focus is on process improvement and the transparent, ethical use of AI made in Germany.
In addition to expanding its portfolio of public sector solutions, the company is strengthening its leadership team: Julius Ibel has been appointed as Head of Public Sector for Germany. In this role, he will drive Celonis’ strategic growth in the public sector and further develop customer and partner networks across the region.
“The public sector must become faster, more efficient, and more digital to meet the expectations of citizens and businesses in Germany,” says Ibel. “Process optimization, paired with the responsible and trustworthy use of AI, can make a significant contribution to this transformation. With Celonis technology, public administration gains full transparency into its processes and the ability to continuously improve them. This provides the foundation for meaningful process improvements and for AI that combines efficiency with fairness and trust. We are deliberately pursuing an approach rooted in European values – one that strengthens digital sovereignty and offers a clear alternative to opaque models.”
Before joining Celonis, Ibel led the Data Lab at the German Federal Chancellery, where he coordinated key initiatives to advance data-driven decision-making across the federal administration. He previously worked as a project manager at Roland Berger and as a policy advisor at the German Federal Ministry of Finance. Ibel holds a degree in Business Administration and Management from the University of Mannheim and earned his MBA from the University of Cambridge.
“Process Intelligence is a proven technology that has consistently improved efficiency and outcomes - not only in the private sector, but also in public institutions around the world,” says Florian Schewior, General Manager DACH at Celonis. “This is why we’re making significant investments in our public sector solutions. With Julius Ibel, we are adding a leader who not only brings deep expertise in public administration, but also a strong understanding of the societal responsibility that comes with technology.”
