C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software company, in the course of Q1, has restructured its global sales and services organization, including new leadership. That restructuring is now complete. New leadership includes:

Rob Schilling joins C3 AI as EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for all Sales, customer-facing teams, and Alliances, effective June 16, 2025. Schilling is a seasoned enterprise application sales leader. His prior experience includes SVP, ERP, Oracle, responsible for a billion-dollar cloud application business; GVP, Nokia Software; CEO, SpaceTime; SVP, SAP Americas; Chief Customer Officer, SAP Japan; and SVP of Sales at Siebel Systems. He brings almost a quarter century of senior enterprise sales leadership to lead the C3 AI go-to-market effort globally.

John Kitchingman joins C3 AI as General Manager, EMEA, effective June 30, 2025. He previously served as SVP, Global Customer Engagement at Dassault Systèmes and VP and Global Sales Leader, IBM Global Services.

Jeff Cosseboom joins C3 AI as Group Vice President, North America East Sales. He brings over three decades of enterprise sales experience as Chief Revenue Officer, Palladin Technologies; Area VP, Salesforce-Vlocity; VP, SAP; and GVP, Siebel Systems/Oracle.

Lars Färnström joins C3 AI as Group Vice President, Nordics. He is also an exceptionally experienced technology leader, including as CEO, Crate.io; VP, Nordics, C3 AI; CEO, Raw Lab; VP, Sales Northern Europe, C3 AI; and Group Director, CRM, Siebel Systems.

Alex Amato, Group Vice President of Customer Services and an executive with C3 AI for nine years, has been promoted to assume responsibility for all professional services and customer service operations, reporting to Rob Schilling. In the course of Q1, he has restructured the services organization to ensure a consistent and universal focus on rapid and significant value realization for all C3 AI engagements.

“The good news is we have completely restructured the sales and services organization, including new and highly experienced leadership across the board to ensure a return to accelerating growth and increased customer success at C3 AI. The bad news is that sales results in Q1 were completely unacceptable. Having given this a lot of thought, I attribute this to two factors. One: It is clear that in the short term, the reorganization with new leadership had a disruptive effect. Two: As we have previously announced, I have had a number of health issues in the past six months including multiple hospitalizations and vision impairment. Unfortunately, dealing with these health issues prevented me from participating in the sales process as actively as I have in the past. With the benefit of hindsight, it is now apparent that my active participation in the sales process may have had a greater impact than I previously thought. That being said, as we enter Q2, we have new leadership in place, a restructuring completed, an extraordinarily large market opportunity, a superlative product offering, and exceptional levels of customer satisfaction, and I am confident the company is positioned to accelerate going forward,” said Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO, C3 AI. “I am pleased to also report that, but for vision impairment, my health has improved dramatically. I am feeling strong and am fully engaged. As you also know, we are actively engaged in an executive search for a successor CEO at C3 AI and are moving expeditiously to identify some excellent candidates in short order.”
