Korbyt, a Dallas-based company specializing in enterprise digital signage and workplace communications solutions, has announced the expansion of its leadership team with four key appointments at the VP and C-level. This development marks a significant milestone for the company following its strategic investment from Boston-based PE firm Clearhaven Partners in July 2023.
“With Clearhaven Partners at our side, we now have the institutional resources and guidance to cement our position as a leader in our space,” Korbyt CEO Ankur Ahlowalia said in a statement.
The CEO said the company has taken “bold first steps” with the new leadership appointments. Now, he says, the company plans to accelerate its “cadence of product innovation to attract 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 leadership team is designed to bolster the development of its Korbyt Anywhere platform, introducing new AI-driven workflows, experiential signage capabilities, and workplace experience management tools. Alongside product innovation, the new leadership will seek technology partnerships to increase market share and drive revenue growth.
The executive search, conducted in the first half of 2024, brought in seasoned leaders from across the B2B tech sector, enhancing Korbyt’s capabilities in marketing, engineering, product management, and finance:
Christel Billault, Vice President of Marketing
Newly appointed Vice President of Marketing Christel Billault will lead the strategic direction and execution of Korbyt’s marketing initiatives. With over two decades of experience in B2B SaaS marketing, Billault brings a wealth of expertise to establish Korbyt’s leadership and drive growth through innovative and integrated marketing strategies.
Adam Griffis, Vice President of Engineering

Previously serving as VP of Engineering at CommentSold, Griffis managed a team of web developers across three continents, supporting more than 4,000 customers globally.
Travis Kemp, Vice President of Product Management
Travis Kemp, in his new role as Vice President of Product Management, will lead the strategic vision and execution of Korbyt’s product portfolio. Kemp is dedicated to developing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers and the market.
Stuart Mitchell, Chief Financial Officer
