People.ai names two strategic hires

A little under a month since announcing new CEO Jason Ambrose on October 30, AI-powered sales intelligence platform People.ai is further bolstering its executive ranks with two strategic hires. Kimberly Gordon has been appointed People.ai’s SVP of marketing, and Natalie Wolf will become the company’s first chief customer officer.

Wolf’s appointment is particularly interesting, as companies aware of ROI concerns look to help clients scale their AI capabilities and avoid drowning in complexity as the technology explodes. She served as People.ai’s SVP of customer success and has over two decades of customer success experience at AI-powered collaboration and business intelligence companies like Anaplan, Celonis, FourKites, and TigerConnect.

“Natalie and I worked together closely during Anaplan’s transformation, and what was clear to me then is how passionate she is about our customers and her team,” Ambrose said in a statement.

Gordon joins People.ai with two decades of marketing experience. She previously served as an independent brand strategist and is co-founder of VC Brand Leaders, an invite-only community for women in venture capital. 

“I’m pumped to join People.ai at such a pivotal moment for both the company and the industry,” Gordon said in a statement. “Our product gives revenue leaders exactly the right answers, when and where they need them, so they can orchestrate deals and drive revenue.”

Scaling growth: People.ai launched in 2016 and has become an influential player in the AI space focusing on AI-powered workflow automation. Post launch, it was accepted into Y Combinator and was valued at $1.1 billion after raising a 2021 Series D.
