New Leader Drives LiveKit’s AI Growth

LiveKit, the platform that empowers companies to build voice, video, and physical AI agents, has hired Tom Davies as its new Chief Revenue Officer. The appointment comes amid a rapid expansion of the company’s sales, finance, and marketing teams to meet soaring demand from large enterprises for voice‑driven AI solutions.

Background on Tom Davies

• Current role: Head of West Coast sales at Grafana Labs
• Previous experience: Six years at Snowflake, leading vertical teams for media, telecom, and entertainment clients

In his new position, Davies will steer LiveKit’s global revenue strategy as more organizations transition AI agents from pilot projects 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’s Market Position

LiveKit supplies the software and cloud infrastructure that powers AI agents capable of seeing, hearing, and speaking in real time. Major customers—including SAP, Tesla, OpenAI, Salesforce, SpaceXAI, and Spotify—use the platform to manage billions of interactions annually.

As businesses move beyond simple chatbots toward richer voice, video, and vision‑based AI, LiveKit’s platform is becoming a core building block for teams developing 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.

• Cameron Huang – VP of Finance
• Michelle Schroeder – 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.
