Korbyt, a Dallas-based company specializing in enterprise digital signage and workplace communications solutions, announced the expansion of its leadership team with four key positions at the vice president and general manager level, a significant milestone for the company following its strategic investment from Boston-based PE firm Clearhaven Partners in July 2023.

“With the support of Clearhaven Partners, we now have the institutional resources and guidance to solidify our position as an industry leader,” Korbyt CEO Ankur Ahlowalia said in a statement.

The CEO said the company has taken “bold first steps” with the new executive appointments. Now, he says, the company plans to accelerate “the pace of product innovation to drive new customers to our platform and deliver on our mission to enable organizations to effectively engage their target audiences.”

The expansion of Korbyt’s senior management team aims to strengthen the development of the Korbyt Anywhere platform, introducing new AI-powered workflows, experiential branding capabilities and workplace experience management tools. In addition to product innovation, the new management team will seek technology partnerships to increase market share and drive revenue growth.

As part of the recruitment for management positions conducted in the first half of 2024, experienced leaders from the B2B technology sector were hired, strengthening Korbyt’s competences in marketing, engineering, product management and finance:
