As it advances its vision of building an autonomous service workforce, Zendesk has announced the appointment of Tifenn Dano Kwan as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
In her new role, Kwan will lead Zendesk’s global marketing organization, with a focus on strengthening market differentiation, accelerating pipeline growth and supporting the company’s next phase of AI-driven expansion.
Kwan joins Zendesk from Amplitude, where she served as Chief Marketing Officer and helped guide the company’s transition into an AI-native analytics platform. During her tenure, website traffic grew by 52% year-over-year, while she built a global marketing engine that generated more than one-third of the company’s marketing-sourced pipeline.
Before Amplitude, Kwan held senior leadership positions at SAP, where she served as Chief Marketing Officer for both SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass. She also held leadership roles at Collibra and Dropbox, contributing to growth, brand development and go-to-market strategies.
Commenting on the appointment, Tom Eggemeier, Chief Executive Officer, Zendesk, said, “Tifenn is a disciplined leader who understands how to connect marketing strategy to measurable growth. As we reinvent Zendesk for the next generation of customer service, Tifenn’s deep expertise in scaling pipeline, leading AI-driven marketing, and aligning GTM functions will be essential. Her ability to articulate the tangible value of our technology makes her the right person to lead our brand as we move toward an autonomous service workforce.”
Sharing her thoughts on joining the company, Tifenn Dano Kwan said, “Agentic Service is the defining opportunity in CX right now and there’s no brand better positioned to lead it than Zendesk. Years of category leadership have built a level of trust and credibility with the market that you can’t manufacture overnight, and that equity is exactly what’s needed to take AI from promise to proof. Our true structural moats lie in our deep industry vertical expertise, our massive knowledge and data foundation, and a platform with trust and governance engineered directly into it. I’m excited about the opportunity to further extend and amplify Zendesk’s category leadership in the AI era.”
The appointment reflects Zendesk’s continued focus on expanding its AI capabilities and strengthening its position in the evolving customer experience and service technology market.
