The story
Coveo Solutions Inc. was founded in 2005 as a spin-off of Copernic Technologies Inc by Laurent Simoneau, Richard Tessier, and Marc Sanfaçon. Laurent Simoneau, Coveo's president and chief executive officer was formerly Copernic's chief operating officer. About 30 employees moved into the new company, with offices at that time in Quebec City and in Palo Alto, California.
Louis Têtu, a Quebec native and former CEO of Taleo and Baan, joined Coveo in 2008 as CEO.
In 2017, Coveo invested 5 million Canadian dollars into opening up an office in Montreal, with 25 new hires, and approximately 25 more planned for the office at the time. Since then, over a hundred new employees joined the Montreal office, which expanded onto additional floors of the historic Gare Windsor building.
In July 2019, Coveo announced the acquisition of Tooso, an AI-based digital commerce engines company. In October 2021, Coveo acquired Qubit, in AI-powered personalization technology for merchandising teams.
