Agentive, an agentic AI revenue orchestration platform that automates revenue workflows from account selection to personalized outreach, today announced the appointment of David Keene as Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer. Keene brings more than 30 years of enterprise technology leadership, with senior roles at Google Cloud, Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP, to help scale Agentive’s go-to-market strategy and drive enterprise adoption of agentic AI for B2B revenue processes.

  • Agentive appoints David Keene as Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer.
  • Keene brings 30+ years of leadership from Google Cloud, Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, Wipro, and Speechmatics.
  • Focus on accelerating enterprise adoption of agentic AI for B2B revenue workflows.
  • Strengthens founding team alongside CEO Usman Sheikh (xiQ founder, former SAP VP).
  • Targets consolidation of fragmented GTM tools into unified, AI-driven orchestration.
  • Agentive automates end-to-end revenue processes with signal-driven agents.

Keene’s appointment marks a strategic milestone as Agentive expands its enterprise footprint. His proven ability to scale revenue operations and build high-growth go-to-market engines aligns directly with the platform’s mission to eliminate tool sprawl and manual friction in B2B sales. By consolidating disconnected solutions into a unified agentic system, Agentive enables teams to prospect faster, coach reps more effectively, and progress deals with greater speed and precision—delivering measurable productivity and revenue impact without added complexity or cost.

“Agentive redefines enterprise GTM using signal-driven agents across the end-to-end B2B revenue generation processes. We didn’t go looking for a CRO. We went looking for a co-founder who has built, bought, and operated the tools our platform is designed to consolidate and automate,” said Usman Sheikh, Founder and CEO of Agentive. “David has scaled revenue engines at some of the world’s largest enterprise companies. He knows exactly what’s broken in B2B sales, because he’s lived it from the inside. That operator credibility is what makes this appointment different.”

Keene most recently served as CMO of Wipro Europe and supported a $62 million Series B as CMO of Speechmatics, a UK-based speech recognition AI company. At Google, he was a founding member of Google Cloud’s European operations. He holds an Executive MBA from Imperial College London and was named to The Drum Top 100 Global CMOs for 2025.

“I have spent three decades building and buying the tools Agentive consolidates,” said David Keene, Co-Founder and CRO of Agentive. “Most B2B companies stitch together 10 to 15 disconnected solutions to run their GTM motion. It is fragile, expensive, and slow. Agentive is the platform I wish I’d had at Google, Wipro and Salesforce — agents that help teams coach reps, prospect faster, and progress deals, without Frankenstack complexity.”
