Zendesk Appoints Tifenn Dano Kwan as Chief Marketing Officer - WebWire

Even the big AI companies are still figuring this out.

Zendesk just hired a new CMO specifically to lead their AI-driven reinvention. A billion-dollar company. Still rebuilding from scratch.

So if you feel behind, you're not.

That tool nobody on your team uses? That's not a you problem. That's a design problem. Most AI tools are built for engineers, then sold to business owners. The gap between "impressive demo" and "daily use" is where the money disappears.

Here's what Zendesk's move actually signals: even the companies building AI know that customer service is the clearest, fastest place to prove AI's value. Not because it's flashy. Because it's measurable. Response times, resolution rates, customer satisfaction — all trackable within days.

If you want your first real AI win, start there. Pick one repetitive customer touchpoint — FAQ responses, booking confirmations, complaint routing — and automate just that. One workflow. Nothing else.

You don't need a consultant. You don't need new software. Most businesses can do this inside tools they already pay for.

Thirty days. One metric. Real proof.

What's the one customer interaction your team handles on repeat that you wish would just... handle itself?
