Gary Flood reports from the opening day of the RPA giant’s latest global non-virtual user conference, FORWARD IV—its first since the end of 2019

Yesterday UiPath was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “PATH”. On the first day the shares closed up 23% to $69, giving UiPath a market valuation of about $36 billion.

UiPath on Friday filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. No details of the target pricing or timing have been disclosed. Two months ago UiPath raised $750m in a round that valued it at $35bn. And last week it announced it had acquired Cloud Elements, to combine an enterprise-grade user interface (UI) and API-based automation capabilities in a single platform. 

Enterprise software industry veteran Gavin Mee–who’s held leadership roles at Adobe, Salesforce and Oracle–became Managing Director of UK & Ireland at RPA leader UiPath in December. We were lucky enough to be the first press to speak to him about his new role.

UiPath has submitted a draft registration statement on a confidential basis to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed public offering of its Class A common stock. The number of shares of Class A common stock to be sold and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined.

In October, Renzo Taal joined UiPath as Senior Vice President and Managing Director of EMEA. Prior to that he held several international roles at Salesforce, most recently as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Asia. Rocking Robots talked to him about his new role, his vision and the upcoming Reboot Work Festival.

Get the robot out of the human, is the credo of Asher Lake’s KLM Automation Center of Excellence. But what do the employees themselves think about working with their digital colleagues from UiPath? In this report we interview KLM employees from a wide range of disciplines. “Instead of the expected 20,000 mutations, it saves us 40,000. And the robot was there in six months, “and” The robot saves me an hour of work a day. “
