NEW YORK, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centrical, the leader in the emerging Performance Intelligence category, today announced a $39 million Series D funding round led by Leeds Illuminate (New York and North Carolina) and Kingfisher Investment (San Francisco and Boulder), with participation from JVP, the company's largest shareholder, and other existing investors. The investment will accelerate Centrical's global expansion and transform how enterprises drive productivity and performance across frontline teams as AI fundamentally reshapes work across industries.

Gal Rimon, Founder and CEO of Centrical, said: "I founded Centrical after years in business intelligence watching the same broken loop: dashboards full of insights, but very little that actually moved the needle. The intelligence existed; it just didn't act. We're building the operating system that closes that gap, guiding employees to the right action, enabling managers to coach what matters, and driving business outcomes autonomously. The investment accelerates our mission to combine agentic AI and human expertise to continuously improve how enterprises empower millions of employees, human and AI, worldwide."
