Why Outreach?

This leader will set the strategic vision for how Outreach’s AI Agents are implemented, adopted, and scaled across our customer base.

  • A strong communicator with executive presence, able to represent Outreach with customers and internal leaders alike 
  • Deeply curious and collaborative, with a bias for action and high ownership 
  • Passionate and knowledgeable about Agentic AI and its potential to enhance human performance, not replace it
