As CEO, Kofoid will be dedicated to scaling EDITED further, including bringing the company’s technology to new markets and strengthening EDITED’s retailer and brand partnerships.

Kofoid is a proven leader in AI-driven B2B technology. Most recently, Kofoid served as the CEO and board member at DialogTech, an AI-powered conversion intelligence and analytics solution for marketers. Before being named CEO in Feb. 2018, Doug served as the COO, where he led the company's transition towards AI-driven conversation intelligence.
