About the team:

Most Fortune 500 Company boards are asking their leadership team to evaluate and implement Gen AI. The CXO suite needs help to understand what use cases are generating best ROI on Gen AI investment and the analyst community is recommending "Agent Copilot" for the contact center frontline associates as one of the top choices.

Observe.AI’s key founding principles are customer value and ROI. All the innovations, Gen AI, ML, LLM, etc. are meaningless if they dont deliver true ROI and arent adopted by customers. We believe that innovation and software are means to solve customer problems. Were grateful to see Forrester recently recognizing our leadership in what truly matters - adoption and ROI. 

In pursuit of this mission, our Go To Market (GTM) team is responsible for helping customers learn how to leverage and deploy our highly capable Contact Center AI products across their sales, service, compliance and collection centers. The team is made of Sales, Solutions, Support, Marketing, Product and Partnership professionals that work together to create valuable solutions that will help bring Gen AI to as many users as possible.
