“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.

As Chief Revenue Officer, he will play a key role in helping us expand Otter’s platform and accelerate our global growth strategy.”
Otter.ai operates at the intersection of a rapidly growing market where organizations seek to unlock value from voice data generated in meetings, sales calls, interviews, classrooms, and field work. As voice interfaces become central to AI-driven workflows, Otter positions itself as a unified platform that turns spoken conversations into searchable intelligence, automated action items, and agentic workflows integrated with existing tools.
Scannell joins during a period of strong momentum for Otter, which has established itself as the leading voice-first AI platform and organizational memory for the modern workplace. With millions of professionals relying on Otter for automatic conversation capture, insight generation, and collaboration, the company is expanding beyond transcription to serve as a comprehensive foundation for enterprise knowledge management.

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.”
The appointment strengthens Otter’s ability to meet increasing enterprise demand for AI solutions that enhance productivity, decision-making, and knowledge activation without ecosystem lock-in.
