VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Conexiom, the leader in AI-powered order automation and performance optimization for manufacturers and distributors, today announced the appointment of Darren Bonnstetter as Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds John McNeill, who is retiring after guiding Conexiom through a period of rapid innovation and growth.
Bonnstetter brings more than two decades of experience helping companies harness advanced technology to drive business transformation. Most recently, he led a climate-tech spinout from Google X, where he turned breakthrough science into a venture-backed company focused on industrial-scale automation and AI. His appointment signals a new era of AI acceleration and customer-centric innovation at Conexiom.
“I’m excited to join Conexiom at this pivotal time,” said Bonnstetter. “Distributors and manufacturers are the backbone of global commerce. Our goal is to help them operate with more speed, precision, and agility through AI-powered automation.”
Under McNeill’s leadership, Conexiom launched key AI capabilities that have redefined customer experience and operational excellence in B2B commerce:
- Complete AI Automation – An AI-native platform that digitizes sales orders in any format, including unstructured formats like handwritten notes, without the need for maps or templates.
- AI Performance Optimization – A self-learning system that diagnoses the root causes of customer satisfaction and margin leakage, then generates targeted action plans to resolve them.
McNeill expressed confidence in his successor:
“It has been a privilege to lead Conexiom through this transformation. Darren is the right leader for what comes next. His depth in AI and enterprise execution is exactly what our customers and partners need.”
