Zip, the AI-powered procurement platform, has appointed Dallas Stonhaus as Chief Sales Officer. With over two decades of enterprise sales leadership at Salesforce and Ironclad, Stonhaus will lead Zip’s global sales efforts as the company accelerates its expansion among Fortune 500 organizations.
Zip is entering a new phase of aggressive enterprise growth with the appointment of Dallas Stonhaus as Chief Sales Officer. Stonhaus brings proven expertise in scaling high-growth SaaS companies that modernize legacy enterprise processes, aligning perfectly with Zip’s mission to transform procurement through AI orchestration.
“This is the largest, most broken process in enterprise finance, and Zip has the product, the customers, and the AI innovation to define and own this category for a long time.”
Stonhaus will oversee the full sales organization, including enterprise and commercial sales, business development, and revenue operations. His track record includes 15 years at Salesforce, where he progressed to senior enterprise leadership as the company scaled from approximately 700 to over 70,000 employees. Most recently, as Chief Sales Officer at Ironclad, he built the enterprise sales function from the ground up and drove more than 10x revenue growth by delivering a modern platform for contract lifecycle management.
“At Ironclad, I saw what happens when you take a legacy process that large enterprises have struggled with for decades and give them a modern, elegant platform that actually works,” said Stonhaus. “Zip is doing the same thing for procurement, but the opportunity is even bigger. This is the largest, most broken process in enterprise finance, and Zip has the product, the customers, and the AI innovation to define and own this category for a long time.”
In just five years, Zip has achieved significant traction by replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with a unified, intelligent platform. The company has delivered more than $6 billion in customer savings and orchestrated hundreds of billions in spend. Trusted by leading enterprises such as T-Mobile, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Snowflake, Anthropic, Discover, Dollar Tree, and John Deere, Zip continues to demonstrate strong product-market fit.
Zip recently launched over 50 specialized AI agents, driving measurable impact: OpenAI saves 1,400 hours annually with the AI suite, while Canva has increased procurement productivity by 250%. The company more than doubled its headcount to over 700 employees, reflecting rapid scaling supported by $371 million in funding at a $2.2 billion valuation from investors including BOND, CRV, Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and DST Global.
“Purchasing is one of the largest cost centers in any enterprise and one of the last to be modernized. The opportunity in front of us is massive, and we need a sales leader who has built and scaled world-class enterprise organizations before,” said Rujul Zaparde, Co-founder and CEO of Zip. “Dallas did exactly that at Ironclad, helping transform a startup into the market leader in contract lifecycle management. He’s done this before, and we’re thrilled to have him do it again at Zip.”
Zip was recently recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites—the youngest company to earn this distinction—further validating its leadership in AI-driven procurement orchestration.
With full intake-to-pay capabilities and the most widely deployed AI agents in enterprise procurement, Zip positions itself to continue redefining how global organizations manage purchasing in an increasingly complex environment.
