Gloo absorbs Workday services partner

BOULDER — Gloo Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GLOO), a Boulder-based company that provides artificial intelligence and technology platforms for faith-based organizations, has acquired EnterpriseMarketdesk, a Workday services partner that offers payroll and human resource consulting to nonprofit and mid-market organizations.

“Workday has become an increasingly important (enterprise resource planning) system for organizations across the faith and flourishing ecosystem, and EMD brings deep Workday expertise to Gloo 360,” Gloo CEO Scott Beck said in a prepared statement. “Together, we can help customers modernize core systems and transform their technology through Applied AI. This aligns directly with our strategy to take on and modernize work for customers through forward-deployed engineering and agentic AI, delivering better outcomes at lower cost, while creating higher-margin growth for Gloo.”

Terms of the EMD acquisition — the latest in a series of such deals for Gloo since going public last fall — were not disclosed. 

“We’ve always focused on delivering consistency and long-term value in a part of the Workday market that’s often underserved,” EMD managing partner Alan Corbeil said in a statement. “Joining Gloo gives us the scale and platform to go further, combining our delivery model with broader capabilities that help customers operate more efficiently and plan for what’s next.”

After some early 2026 stutter steps, Gloo disclosed last month that it expects to post sales of $190 million in fiscal 2026 and reach profitability by the fourth quarter of this year.

Those optimistic projections came just months after the company cut jobs in an effort to boost its stock price. 

In a late January letter to investors, Gloo CEO Scott Beck wrote that the company has “made some targeted workforce reductions this week to eliminate duplication.” The company did not specify how many jobs it was eliminating or in what roles. 

Beck and another executive also volunteered early this year to reduce their 2026 salaries to $1.

Just after 9 a.m. Monday, Gloo’s stock price was 7.32%, up 4.05% in early trading. And while Gloo’s stock price is down nearly 10% since the company went public last November, it’s up more than 31% since the beginning of 2026.
