Confirm has announced that Chief Product Officer Adam Thompson has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Adam Thompson succeeds Benoit de la Tour, who transitions to a Non-Executive Board role following two years leading a significant transformation of the company’s strategy, portfolio, positioning, and brand.
Under Benoit’s leadership, Confirm has undergone a fundamental transformation, including the integration of four acquisitions, the repositioning of the company around Workforce Enablement, the evolution of its portfolio and ICP, and the launch of the Confirm brand.

With the company now entering its next phase of growth, this is the right moment for a leadership transition. Adam has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic clarity over the past year, and I am confident he is the right person to lead Confirm into its next chapter. I look forward to supporting Adam and the team from the Board.”
“I am thrilled to step into the CEO role at such an exciting juncture for Confirm,” said Adam Thompson, incoming CEO.
“Having led our product strategy over the past 12 months, and drawing on my previous experience as a founder and CEO in HR tech, I see an enormous opportunity ahead. There are 2.7 billion frontline workers who remain underserved by HR technology, and our ambition is to give every one of them greater opportunity to learn, develop and grow.
“We have a strong foundation to build on, and I look forward to working with our customers, employees and partners to accelerate Confirm’s growth and deliver market-leading solutions for frontline teams and scale-ups.“
