NeuraFlash Names Tom Hebner as Vice President of Salesforce Agentforce Practice, Fortifying Our Leadership in AI Advancements
September 23, 2024 – NeuraFlash, a leading AI and Consulting/ISV Partner of Salesforce and AWS, is excited to announce the appointment of Tom Hebner as Vice President of our Agentforce practice to help our customers support their employees and customers 24/7. With over 25 years of experience in the Conversational User Interface and AI industries, Hebner brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to our new division.
Salesforce's Agentforce Platform represents a significant breakthrough in combining AI and human intelligence to transform customer interactions. NeuraFlash has been a long-time leader in this space as one of the first partners to implement key innovations such as Salesforce Einstein Bots and Service Cloud Voice. Now, we're honored to be selected as an exclusive partner to pilot Agentforce, recently highlighted at Dreamforce, and are ready to help customers unlock its full potential as it becomes generally available next month.
Hebner’s career began in development, building conversational systems at Voice Integrators Inc. He later joined Nuance Communications, where he led product innovation in AI and conversational design, eventually becoming head of the division in 2019. As one of the key technical leaders, he played a pivotal role in developing Nuance’s most critical AI technologies. Learn more about his time at Nuance here. His mission at NeuraFlash is clear—helping our customers move beyond mediocrity by fully leveraging the latest innovations in language AI.
With a 25-year track record of driving change through AI and contact center transformations, Hebner has led cutting-edge projects, including building some of the earliest IVR systems and improving customer experiences for major airlines like US Airways and Delta.
“Agentforce is the first large-scale commercial GenAI solution purpose-built to truly transform customer service. We are fortunate to be in a position to help our customers turn this technology into real results. With Agentforce, anyone can build a bot, but making it truly effective requires a deep understanding of language and conversation. Concepts like episodic memory, relevance, and common ground, among many other conversational principles, now come into play. We've been building conversational technology for years, and to see the limitations finally fall away, allowing us to merge the art and science of crafting great conversations, is extremely exciting. We're the company making this future real.”
