One Click LCA, the AI-powered leader in decarbonization software for the construction and manufacturing sectors, has named Colby Manwaring as its new Chair. Manwaring, known for scaling Innovyze to a $1B acquisition by Autodesk in 2021, brings deep expertise in enterprise software growth. His leadership is expected to support One Click LCA’s ambitious target of reaching €100M in annual revenue as it accelerates global expansion.
“The construction sector faces enormous pressure to decarbonize, and One Click LCA’s software removes the friction for manufacturers and designers. I’m excited to help scale this platform globally and build on the momentum toward €100M in revenue,” says Colby Manwaring, new Chair of Board at One Click LCA.
One Click LCA has also strengthened its executive team with two new appointments. Suzana Delanghe joins the company as Chief Revenue Officer, responsible for driving company growth. She was, until recently, the COO of OpenClassrooms. Alfred Gerum joins as Chief Product Officer, from his position as CPO at Benify. Additionally, Lin Li is appointed One Click LCA’s new Chief Financial Officer. Having previously worked at successful technology companies such as Klarna, Lin joins One Click LCA from his former position as CFO at the Swedish scaleup Teamtailor.
“Colby, Suzana, Alfred, and Lin bring world-class leadership in enterprise growth, product-led sales, and scale-up finance. With their experience, we’re accelerating our expansion and ability to deliver outstanding solutions for our customers amongst increasing demands and a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape,” says Panu Pasanen, CEO and Founder of One Click LCA.
The AI-powered platform enables analysis of whole-life carbon, LCA, and sustainability assessment for buildings, infrastructure, and manufacturing products — including early-stage analysis, design optioneering, benchmarking, and decarbonization tools. The platform enables manufacturers to generate and publish third-party-verified EPDs (environmental product declarations) reliably and efficiently using a fully digital process. It also provides its users with the world’s largest LCA database, giving them access to over 300,000 datasets from across the globe.
The company raised a €40M equity investment from PSG Equity in late 2023. The following year, it also acquired two technology companies: ENVI-met, the global leader in microclimate simulation to reduce urban heat stress, and a French generative AI technology for optimizing projects in the pre-design stage, which is now integrated into One Click LCA’s platform.
