Berks joins Kasisto from Amelia, a market-leading enterprise AI software company, where he was responsible for strategy, partnerships, and global delivery, and was a member of the executive team. He previously was Senior Vice President of Conversational AI at Kore.ai.

Zor Gorelov, Kasisto co-founder and previous CEO, will become a Senior Advisor to the company and remains a significant shareholder.

“Kasisto is entering an exciting and transformative phase, and Lance is the ideal leader to drive the company forward,” said Gorelov. “His unwavering commitment to building strong client relationships, delivering cutting-edge innovation, and leading teams with a clear, shared vision makes him the perfect fit. I am excited about what is ahead for Kasisto with Lance at the helm.”

In September Kasisto announced the successful closing of a Series D funding round, raising the company’s total funding to $90m. The firm also announced the appointment of Don Layden as Executive Chairman of its Board of Directors.

Berks noted, “With innovative AI technology, a world-class team, and strong financial backing, I consider myself fortunate to be joining Kasisto at a pivotal time.”
