As the former co-founder of ClearSlide and CEO of Apollo, Benton’s expertise and perspective will fuel Chorus’ overall trajectory as the conversation intelligence platform for revenue organizations.
“Jim is not only a visionary in SaaS sales technology but a principled and professional leader,” said Roy Raanani, President at Chorus.ai, in a statement. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome him as Chorus’ new CEO. His passion for helping companies bring their best to every interaction will enable Chorus to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead.”
Benton’s appointment comes at an optimal time for Chorus, as the company has recently tripled revenue growth, doubled employee size and secured banner customers such as Lucid, Podium and more.
“Conversation Intelligence is a must-have solution for go-to-market teams,” said Benton in a statement. “After being a customer of Chorus for the past year, I can’t imagine running a company without it. Just like Waze gives users the best route to their destination, Chorus gives users the most efficient steps to revenue generation by navigating their talk track, customer needs, and the actual problems to solve. Chorus’s remarkable team, incredible vision and best-in-class technology made joining the company my most exciting opportunity yet.”
In addition to Benton’s appointment, the company hired Tat Ng as VP of Engineering to oversee the continued development of new Chorus capabilities and scaling the platform.
