"Gong's AI-powered platform is transforming revenue teams' most critical workflows to increase team productivity, improve decision-making and win more deals," said Gong CEO and Co-founder Amit Bendov in a statement. "Shane's proven track record of leading enterprise sales, cross-product and platform strategies and international expansion is a perfect fit for Gong as we expand our market leadership."
