Tibrewal is a Chartered Accountant in India and CPA in the US, and began his career at Chemtex International in Bangalore before taking on roles at SAB Miller and Aditya Birla Fashion Retail Limited.

“Observe.AI is at the center of contact center transformation and on one of the most compelling trajectories I’ve witnessed in an AI company, with a distinctive vision, executional prowess, and unprecedented market opportunity. I look forward to working with Swapnil and this incredible team to help drive Observe.AI forward and create long-term value for the company, our customers and investors, and the contact center industry at large,” said Tibrewal.

Brandee Sanders, Vice President of Demand Generation

Sanders is an award-winning marketing technologist with a background in leading teams in high-growth environments from startup through IPO. Her experience includes accelerating revenue growth with fintech company BlackLine to a successful IPO, developing omnichannel go-to-market demand generation strategies, and leading cross-partner collaborations alongside companies such as Sony Music, Etsy, Gartner, G2, Sirius Decisions, Nasdaq, and Inc. 

“Delivering world-class customer experiences is central to any company that cares about growing brand loyalty and retaining customers. What attracted me to Observe.AI is the company’s transformative vision to help contact centers everywhere improve customer experience with best-in-class technology. The opportunity ahead of us is tremendous—and I'm thrilled to be part of the go-to-market leadership as we take on this exciting next chapter,” said Sanders.
