SymphonyAI, a company that provides enterprise AI software solutions for strategic industries, announced Sanjay Dhawan has joined as CEO.
In this new role, Dhawan will drive SymphonyAI’s growth as an integrated company pursuing a single strategy across retail, CPG, financial services, manufacturing, media, IT service management, and additional sectors, the statement said.
“We are one of the largest and fastest-growing enterprise AI companies, with more than 1,000 major customers globally,” said SymphonyAI Founder and Chairman Dr. Romesh Wadhwani. “Our work addressing specific customer needs and applying AI to capture value across industries is unique. I know Sanjay’s successful track record. His reputation for unlocking market value is well-earned, and he will bring that leadership to SymphonyAI for our next growth phase. With the addition of our CFO and CTO in December, we now have the full senior leadership team we need to be the leader in enterprise AI.”
Dhawan brings his experience rapidly growing technology companies to SymphonyAI. He was most recently CEO and president at Cerence, leading its 2019 spin-out from Nuance. Under Dhawan, Cerence delivered record revenue by accelerating conversational AI market penetration in the automotive industry. Previously, Dhawan led Symphony Teleca to an $830 million acquisition by Harman International, and then led Harman Connected Services division as its president. He was part of the management team that enabled Harman’s $8 billion acquisition by Samsung Electronics in 2017. Before this, Dhawan spun out Flextronics’ $500 million software platform and services business into an independent company, Aricent, Inc., owned by private equity firm KKR.
“I am delighted and honored to lead SymphonyAI as its CEO. SymphonyAI’s scale, growth, customer base, and expertise combined with the EurekaAI platform is set to deliver sustained value,” said Dhawan. “Having had the experience of working with Romesh to build world-class, results-oriented teams and companies, I am pleased to have the opportunity to join him again. SymphonyAI’s relentless focus on delivering rapid, measurable value to customers is our recipe for success. SymphonyAI’s ability to catalyze the next generation of problem-solving for business, fueled by enterprise AI, will lead to exciting outcomes for both customers and investors.”
