“The experience and original outlook that Prof. Sawhney brings will undoubtedly guide Pypestream into the next phase of growth as we continue to acquire additional enterprise customers,” said Smullen. “AI, chatbots and messaging in the on-demand era are rapidly evolving, so harnessing his deep knowledge of business innovation and new media will be a powerful competitive advantage.”
