REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 08, 2025—(BUSINESS WIRE)—C3 AI (NYSE: AI), a key player in Enterprise AI application software, has successfully executed a significant reorganization of its global sales and services framework in Q1. This strategic overhaul has culminated in a fresh infusion of leadership talent.
Noteworthy appointments include:
- Rob Schilling, who joins as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, will oversee all sales and customer teams, effective June 16, 2025. Schilling is a distinguished leader in enterprise application sales, with an impressive background that includes senior roles at Oracle and SAP, where he spearheaded a billion-dollar cloud application business.
- John Kitchingman steps in as General Manager for EMEA, effective June 30, 2025, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous position as SVP of Global Customer Engagement at Dassault Systèmes.
- Jeff Cosseboom has been appointed as Group Vice President for North America East Sales. His extensive three-decade tenure encompasses leadership roles at Palladin Technologies and Salesforce-Vlocity.
- Lars Farnstrom assumes the role of Group Vice President for the Nordics. His depth of experience includes roles at Crate.io and within C3 AI itself, highlighting his familiarity with the enterprise technology landscape.
- Alex Amato, after nine years with C3 AI, has been elevated to Group Vice President of Customer Services, now responsible for all professional services operations, under the guidance of Rob Schilling. Amato has reengineered the services organization for enhanced customer engagement and value realization.
Reflecting on the restructuring, Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO of C3 AI, stated,
“The complete revamping of our sales and services organization, paired with our new leadership, aims to drive accelerated growth and customer success. However, Q1 sales figures were unsatisfactory, largely influenced by two issues: the short-term disruptions caused by reorganization and my own health complications. Despite these challenges, I am optimistic about our prospects in Q2, with the new leadership now in effect and a robust market opportunity ahead.”
He also noted his improved health, emphasizing his commitment to actively steering the sales process moving forward.
C3 AI is concurrently undertaking a search for a new CEO, seeking to attract exceptional candidates expeditiously.
