MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Otter.ai, a leader in AI-powered productivity and conversation intelligence, today announced the appointment of Kenny Scannell as Chief Revenue Officer.

In this role, Scannell will lead Otter’s global go-to-market strategy across sales, partnerships, demand generation, and customer success as the company continues to scale its enterprise presence and expand the role of AI in how organizations capture, connect, and activate knowledge from conversations.

Kenny joins at a time of strong momentum and will play a pivotal role in accelerating Otter’s next phase of growth. He brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling global revenue organizations at high-growth SaaS companies. Most recently, Scannell served as SVP of Global Sales at Rocketlane, tripling year-over-year growth while expanding enterprise adoption of the platform.

Prior to Rocketlane, Scannell was a GM at Zoom, overseeing the company’s Marketing Solutions product lines including Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events, and contributing to the go-to-market strategy for emerging AI-driven offerings.

As Chief Revenue Officer, Kenny will lead the expansion and scaling of Otter’s go-to-market strategy, positioning the company for continued global expansion. Otter operates at the center of a rapidly expanding market opportunity as organizations seek to capture and activate the vast amount of knowledge generated through conversations - whether in meetings, interviews, sales calls, classrooms, or field work. As voice becomes an increasingly important interface for AI and work, organizations are looking for platforms that can transform spoken conversations into structured knowledge and actionable insights.

“We’re delighted to welcome Kenny at an incredibly exciting time for Otter,” said Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai. “Amid the proliferation of AI-generated written content, authentic voice conversations have become one of our most valuable and underutilized assets. Our mission is to help enterprises capture and transform their meetings into searchable and actionable conversation intelligence. Kenny brings an exceptional track record of building world-class revenue organizations and scaling companies through pivotal growth moments. As Chief Revenue Officer, he will play a key role in helping us expand Otter’s platform and accelerate our global growth strategy.”

“I’m excited to join Otter as Chief Revenue Officer at such a transformational moment,” said Kenny Scannell. “Otter is uniquely positioned to enable enterprises to unlock the value of voice, where most decisions and insights are formed. Every conversation represents knowledge that organizations can capture, analyze, and act on. I’m looking forward to supporting Otter’s continued momentum and helping scale the next chapter of growth.”

Otter is used by millions of professionals across industries to automatically capture conversations, generate insights, and streamline collaboration. As organizations increasingly adopt AI to power productivity and decision-making, Otter is expanding its platform beyond meeting transcription to become a foundation for capturing institutional knowledge from conversations across the enterprise.
