Frequently asked questions
Who runs Anaplan post-acquisition?
Frank Calderoni has served as Chairman and CEO since 2017, a role he retained after Thoma Bravo completed its $10.4 billion buyout in June 2022 (per CNBC, 2022). Calderoni joined Anaplan from Red Hat, where he was CFO during its own landmark acquisition by IBM. The Thoma Bravo deal kept the existing executive team largely intact.
Does Anaplan operate as a private company now?
Yes. Anaplan was a publicly traded company on the NYSE (ticker PLAN) until Thoma Bravo completed a take-private acquisition in June 2022, valued at $10.4 billion (per CNBC, June 2022). The firm no longer files public financial statements or discloses detailed operating metrics.
How is Anaplan structurally different from a family office?
Anaplan is an enterprise software company, not an investment vehicle. This profile exists in Altss because some family offices hold concentrated positions in pre-IPO or post-acquisition software companies, and Anaplan's user base includes allocators who model portfolio scenarios on the platform. It does not manage outside capital or make fund investments.
Which industries rely on Anaplan for planning?
Anaplan's customer base spans consumer goods (PepsiCo, Kimberly-Clark), technology (DocuSign, VMware), retail, and financial services. The platform is used for financial planning and analysis, sales forecasting, supply-chain optimization, and workforce planning, with particular strength in complex, multi-region supply-chain modeling.
What does Anaplan compete with in the enterprise planning space?
The primary competitors are Oracle Hyperion, SAP BPC, and Workday Adaptive Planning. Anaplan differentiates through its connected-planning architecture, where a single model update propagates across all dependent modules instantly, avoiding the batch-processing latency common in legacy OLAP-based systems.
Why did Thoma Bravo acquire Anaplan?
Thoma Bravo pursued Anaplan in early 2022, disclosed the bid in March, and closed the $10.4 billion deal by June of that year. The private equity firm's known strategy involves taking mature enterprise-software companies private to accelerate product development and margin expansion outside public-market pressure (per Thoma Bravo's public statements, 2022).
Where is Anaplan headquartered?
Anaplan is headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States, a relocation completed in recent years. The company also maintains offices in San Francisco, London, Paris, York, and Singapore, supporting a global customer base of over 2,000 enterprises.
