“I’m thrilled to join Otter at such a transformational moment for the company and for the category,” said Alex Gay. “Voice is one of the richest, most underutilized sources of knowledge inside every organization. As AI accelerates the pace of business, unlocking that voice data gives teams access to the most up-to-date decisions, plans, and insights. I’m looking forward to building a brand and marketing organization that matches the ambition of the product.”
