Corporate development and ventures SVP Philip Kirk has left ServiceNow, roughly six months after fellow investment executive Vishal Kumar Gupta.
Philip Kirk has left his senior corporate development and open innovation role at enterprise software producer ServiceNow after nearly six years at the company.
Kirk had led strategy, venture investments and acquisitions as senior vice-president of corporate and business development for the company, having previously been a corporate business development VP at networking technology producer Cisco.
The move comes less than six months after the departure of ServiceNow’s VP of corporate development and ventures, Vishal Kumar Gupta. Amanda Vinson, senior director for corporate business development and venture investing, remains in her role.
ServiceNow launched corporate venture capital unit ServiceNow Ventures in 2015 and announced in 2023 that it planned to increase its CVC budget from $300m to $1bn.
The corporate was part of Thinking Machines’ $2bn seed round last July as well as nine-figure rounds for AI voice technology developer Deepgram and open-source AI agent startup LangChain in the past six months.
