New Leader Drives LiveKit’s AI Growth

LiveKit, a platform that lets companies create voice, video and physical AI agents, has hired Tom Davies as its new Chief Revenue Officer. The move comes as the firm expands its sales, finance and marketing teams to keep pace with the rising demand from large businesses for voice‑driven AI solutions. Davies is joining from Grafana Labs, where he headed West Coast sales. Before that, he spent six years at Snowflake running vertical teams for media, telecom and entertainment clients. In his new role, he will steer LiveKit’s global revenue efforts as more enterprises shift AI agents from testing labs into everyday operations. “AI agents are becoming essential for both customer‑facing services and behind‑the‑scenes workflows, ” said LiveKit’s CEO. “Tom has a proven track record of scaling sales in fast‑moving tech companies, and we’re eager to see how he will help us grow as more firms deploy voice AI at scale. ”LiveKit supplies the software and cloud infrastructure that powers AI agents capable of seeing, hearing and speaking in real time. Companies such as SAP, Tesla, OpenAI, Salesforce, SpaceXAI and Spotify use the platform to handle billions of interactions each year. With businesses moving away from simple chat bots toward richer voice, video and vision‑based AI, LiveKit’s platform is becoming a core building block for teams that develop real‑time AI applications and digital workers. Davies highlighted the shift from pilot projects to full production, noting that LiveKit’s infrastructure is now key for delivering low‑latency, stateful AI workloads. The new appointments also include Megan Barros as Regional VP of Sales, Cameron Huang as VP of Finance and Michelle Schroeder as VP of Marketing. Together, they will support LiveKit’s continued expansion following a $100 million Series C round that valued the company at $1 billion earlier this year.
