Clari + Salesloft, the revenue technology company formed through the December 2025 merger of Clari and Atlanta based Salesloft, has named Brian Benfer as Chief Revenue Officer and Rajesh Krishnaswami as Chief Technology Officer. The appointments strengthen both the execution engine that drives the company's revenue operations and the AI platform that powers its products.
The combined company has moved quickly to build out what it describes as a comprehensive Revenue AI offering. In April 2026 it launched capabilities that connect forecasting insights directly to seller execution, linking the predictive analytics Clari built its reputation on with the engagement workflows Salesloft sells to sales teams. In March, the company announced a partnership with 1mind that integrates its Predictive Revenue System with 1mind's AI digital teammates, which are designed to accelerate pipeline from first touch to close across the customer lifecycle.
Salesloft remains one of the anchor companies in Atlanta's marketing and sales technology cluster, which includes CallRail, Cardlytics, and Terminus. The merged company's leadership moves signal continued investment in AI driven revenue tools at a time when sales and marketing software vendors are racing to embed autonomous agents into their platforms.
