This announcement coincides with the successful closing of Kasisto’s Series D funding round, raising the company’s total funding to $90 million. This new influx of capital, along with the strengthened leadership, will further solidify Kasisto’s position as a leader in conversational and generative AI solutions that empower financial institutions of all sizes to enhance customer engagement and workforce capabilities.

Don Layden brings a wealth of experience from his leadership roles in the technology and financial services industries.
