Iterable also announced that founder and current CEO Andrew Boni will transition to the role of Chief Scientist, where he will focus full-time on advancing Iterable’s product and AI roadmap, including its newly announced AI agent, Iterable Nova. In this role, Boni will work closely with Product, Engineering, and strategic customers to accelerate Nova’s development and drive long-term product differentiation. He will continue to serve on Iterable’s Board of Directors.
“We’re at a defining moment in marketing,” said Sam Allen. “Iterable’s AI is fundamentally reshaping how brands connect with customers, and raising the bar for speed, personalization, and measurable impact.

“This is a strategic investment that I’m very excited about, and one that will dramatically accelerate our ability to execute and innovate for years to come,” said Andrew Boni. “Bringing Sam in allows us to move faster operationally and sets Iterable up for long-term success.”
“Iterable is entering an exciting new chapter,” said Stephanie Buscemi, Iterable board member and CMO of Confluent. “Sam brings the enterprise leadership and scaling expertise needed to propel Iterable’s world-class customer communication platform forward. As founder, Boni brings an unmatched product vision. Together, they represent the ideal pairing to guide Iterable through its next horizon of growth.”
Iterable powers customer engagement for more than 1,200 brands across 50+ countries worldwide. Following last year’s launch of its third international office—an R&D hub in Lisbon—the company continues to grow its global presence and workforce to provide exceptional support and strategic partnership in every region it serves.
Since surpassing $200 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in early 2024, Iterable has continued to scale, fueled by enterprise momentum, top-tier recognition on G2 and TrustRadius, and increasing demand for AI that delivers both operational efficiency and strategic advantage.
Iterable’s leadership evolution comes at a defining moment, as the company accelerates innovation and positions itself and its customer base to lead the next era of AI in marketing.
