Kore.ai’s Carl Katz

Katz co-founded ThreatProtector Cybersecurity Advisors and was its senior vice president of partner sales. He then joined Telesystem as cybersecurity advisor and strategist when it acquired ThreatProtector in fall 2022.

Before that, Katz was Nextiva‘s North America channel sales leader.

Here’s our list of channel people on the move in August.

In July, Kore.ai announced a new partner program to bolster the support it provides to its indirect sales channel. The Kore.ai channel partner program established a new tiered structure for channel partners and solution providers, and commits investments for each partner covering go-to-market (GTM), enablement and marketing support while providing additional resources.

Kore.ai’s conversational AI-first platform and solutions help enterprises automate business interactions for their customers, employees and contact center agents. More than 400 Fortune 2000 companies use Kore.ai’s experience optimization (XO) platform and technology to automate their business interactions for more than 200 million users globally.

See our slideshow above for more from Katz about his new role with the conversational AI provider.
