Aubrey Vaughan
Vice President, Government, Defense & Intelligence (Global), Celonis
Aubrey Vaughan said Celonis is excited about the opportunity to help the government accelerate the adoption of AI and secure cloud technologies to deliver meaningful mission outcomes.
“I’m especially proud of the strong partnerships my team has built across civilian and defense agencies,” Vaughan added. “Over the last several years, we have built Celonis into a household name and a company the government depends on to see success in extremely complex projects.”
Celonis is also helping federal government customers operate more efficiently by connecting them with technology that automates routine tasks and streamlines workflows. This reduces administrative burden and frees employees to focus on mission-critical work. The result is improved service delivery, faster decision-making and greater mission impact.
Why Watch
In 2026, Vaughan and his team are focused on helping federal agencies drive measurable outcomes from their investments in AI, modernization and digital transformation. Celonis has heard the government’s call to invest in solutions that address its most pressing operational challenges. It answers by building capabilities that help agencies gain greater visibility into how work gets done, uncover inefficiencies and accelerate mission execution.
“It’s particularly rewarding to lead the charge in demonstrating how Celonis is helping the government’s investment pay off with real results,” Vaughan said. “We will continue to execute on this mission with its departments and agencies.”
Celonis is particularly focused on sharing proven use cases around audit readiness, operational efficiency and modernization, helping customers turn action and innovation into measurable impact across their organizations.
“Aubrey has been instrumental in positioning Celonis as a trusted partner for government, defense and intelligence — one of our fastest-growing customer bases,” said Alex Rinke, co-CEO of Celonis. “Under his leadership, these customers are using Celonis to move beyond isolated insights to see real, contextualized return on AI. They’re finding that the operational context only Celonis can provide is what makes reliable, mission-ready outcomes possible — for the departments and agencies who can least afford to get it wrong.”
Fun fact: When Vaughan isn’t helping governments and defense organizations drive transformational outcomes, he enjoys spending time with his family and cheering on his three kids, specifically watching his twin boys on the golf course and the soccer field, and proudly supporting his daughter on the basketball court.
