“Godfrey brings more than three decades of leadership and a visionary approach with fastest-growing enterprise companies to our board,” said People.ai founder and chief executive officer, Oleg Rogynskyy at People.ai. “His wealth of experience with first-mover organizations in the cloud, big data, business intelligence and performance management software spaces is unparalleled and is incredibly relevant as People.ai moves forward as a leader in AI for sales, marketing and customer success.”
