During this Alliance Roundtable, Craig Hunter, Founder & CEO of Covalent, will share how he has created a digital clone of himself that he now uses as a first line of interaction for his direct reports. Craig's background spans corporate development, finance, and strategy, including experience as an M&A banker on Wall Street and CFO of a consumer products company. He has held senior leadership roles at Applied Materials, where he founded and led the SunFab solar PV business, and at Intermolecular, where he established the clean energy technology group. Craig was also an entrepreneur-in-residence at Sequoia Capital.
Our moderator, Matthew Swanson, is the CEO of StaffAI, a platform that places "AI employees" in sales and marketing roles at field service businesses. Matthew previously founded Google Ventures backed SpeakerText (acquired by CloudFactory 2012) and AugmentCXM (acquired by Sutherland Global 2022), which was one of the first companies to deploy LLM based transformers into enterprise contact centers. Matthew also serves as Managing Partner of Silicon Valley Software Group, which provides fractional CTOs to PE and VC backed companies.
