What makes a workplace truly innovative?
At Coveo, we believe it happens when curious minds come together. It shows in the way we challenge each other to ask bold questions, to think differently, and to push ideas forward.
That’s why we’re proud to share that Fast Company has named Coveo in the 2025 list of Best Workplace for Innovators, a celebration of our workplace and the people behind it.
John Grosshans, Chief Operating Officer of Coveo, explains it best:
“This recognition is a testament to the power of democratized innovation at Coveo. It is proof of what happens when bold ideas are encouraged, embraced, and executed across teams. Our commitment to collaboration and customer value drives us to not only welcome innovation, but expect it.”
Innovation as a cultural anchor
At Coveo, innovation takes many forms, but it always starts with people. It’s the reflection of a collaborative spirit that runs through everything we do; the way we partner with customers, the way we design solutions, and the way we challenge each other.
We’ve made a deliberate choice to put innovation at the core of who we are. It’s no coincidence that nearly 40% of our workforce is dedicated to Research and Development. For us, investing in innovation means investing in our people, because their ideas shape the future of enterprise AI and power our customers’ digital experiences.
As our Chief People Officer, Chelsea Finnemore illustrates it: “ Every day, Coveans bring fresh ideas, bold thinking, and a drive to make an impact. Innovation doesn’t happen in silos; it happens when people feel inspired, trusted, and supported. That’s the environment we’re committed to creating, and it’s what makes Coveo such an exciting place to grow your career.”
Fostering a workplace where innovation can thrive
Great ideas need fertile ground. That’s why Coveo has deliberately built a workplace where experimentation, collaboration, and curiosity can thrive.
Through programs like Coveo Labs, our twice-yearly Innovate events, and our ML Applied Science Community, employees are given the space and support to test, learn, and create. Many of our most impactful advances, from vector search to relevance-augmented generative AI solutions, were born from these initiatives.
As our VP of Global Communications, Madge Miller says: “At Coveo, our culture of curiosity and collaboration is a competitive advantage. By harnessing the strength of cross-functional teams, we consistently turn challenges into innovations that deliver measurable value for our customers. This recognition from Fast Company validates how our people-first approach drives real business impact.”
