Earlier, he held engineering and leadership roles at LiveRamp, focusing on measurement and data management solutions.

“I’m excited to join Levelpath at such a pivotal moment,” said Giardina. “AI is only as powerful as the data behind it. Levelpath’s unified platform brings all of procurement into one system with a complete, clean data foundation, giving AI the context it needs to drive real outcomes. By integrating with existing systems to continuously unify data, Levelpath enables customers to realize far greater value from AI. I can’t wait to help scale that vision.”

A Breakout Year of Momentum

The past year marked significant milestones for Levelpath, including 4X year-over-year growth, a $55M+ Series B funding round, the addition of more than 100 new employees, expansion into a New York City office, and the release of hundreds of product features. These achievements reflect the company’s focus on delivering a unified, AI-native procurement experience that spans intake to procure.

Major product launches included:

  • AI Front Door: A natural language conversational intake tool that intelligently routes stakeholder requests to the appropriate workflow, reducing friction and speeding outcomes.
  • Pipeline: A centralized visibility layer providing real-time insights into project spend, savings, contract value, and supplier details to prioritize work and align procurement with business goals.
  • AI Agents: Agentic AI capabilities that automate repetitive tasks, recommend optimal suppliers, generate sourcing templates, and deliver actionable insights.
  • Invoice Automation: Contextual matching of invoices to sourcing events, contracts, and purchase orders to minimize manual effort, accelerate approvals, and protect negotiated value.

These innovations strengthen Levelpath’s Hyperbridge reasoning engine, enabling no-code workflow orchestration, intelligent automation, and real-time visibility across procurement, finance, legal, and other teams.
