ABBYY Relocates Global Headquarters and Recruits New Leadership to Accelerate AI Innovation
ABBYY is relocating its global headquarters from California to Austin, Texas, joining other leading tech companies like Google, Apple, Tesla, and Oracle in the region’s growing “Silicon Hills.” This move is part of a broader transformation, with new leadership talent and streamlined operations aimed at strengthening ABBYY’s position as a trusted leader in intelligent document processing, process intelligence, and intelligent automation.
“ABBYY has empowered thousands of organizations worldwide to digitally transform their business with purpose-built AI for intelligent automation. As a leader, we are constantly transforming and trying to improve ourselves,” commented Ulf Persson, CEO at ABBYY. “Relocating our headquarters to Austin, where our product leadership team already is, places us at the heart of a growing tech ecosystem. Together with our development centers in the U.S., India, and Hungary, we’re tapping into top global talent in AI, machine learning, and product development to drive our next phase of growth and innovation.”
The headquarters relocation comes at a pivotal moment for ABBYY, as the company continues to invest in the future of AI, bringing in new leaders and refining its product and customer operations. Hopeful Owitti joins us as Vice President of Customer Experience, bringing expertise from leading customer care at OutSystems. Nick Hyatt, formerly of Ionic, will also join as Vice President of Engineering, to strengthen ABBYY’s engineering and development efforts.
“Our move to Austin represents a significant milestone in ABBYY’s transformation,” commented Patrick (PJ) Jean, Chief Technology and Product Officer at ABBYY. “By bringing our product teams closer to our leadership, we will be fostering the collaboration that strengthens our innovation and delivery of AI-driven solutions, ensuring our products continue to lead the market in intelligent automation. I’m excited to work closely with Hopeful, Nick, and the ABBYY leadership team as we push forward on this journey of growth and innovation that also includes expansion of our global development centers in India and Hungary.”
To maximize operational efficiency and compliance amidst the transformation and rapid growth, ABBYY has appointed Roman Kilun to Chief Compliance Officer. Kilun will report directly to Persson and will be responsible for ensuring that ABBYY maintains a comprehensive and rigorous compliance program across global operations.
Looking to the future, ABBYY is excited to continue its transformation and invites partners and clients to join them at ABBYY Ascend, a digital event on October 30, where leadership will reveal the latest AI advancements and share more about the company’s forward-looking plans to shape the future of intelligent automation.
