Helios Life Enterprises Welcomes Kevin Vanderwarker as Chief Revenue Officer

NEW YORK, November 30, 2022 - Helios Life Enterprises, pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, welcomes Kevin Vanderwarker to the team. As Chief Revenue Officer, Kevin will be involved in every aspect of Helios’ revenue generation process from sales to marketing, customer success and more.

"I am excited to welcome Kevin to Helios' leadership team, which will help to further solidify Helios' role as leading provider for speech analytics," said Helios Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Gerwin Schalk.

An energetic and seasoned sales professional, Kevin has spent a 20+ year career in large-scale B2B enterprise software. Kevin has worked with Helios in an advisory capacity over the past four years and has been instrumental in developing a growth path for the Helios customer universe. With Kevin’s greater involvement as CRO, he will drive Helios’ revenue growth 10x over to achieve a $100MM enterprise valuation by 2024 and eventually $100MM in annual gross revenue.

“Kevin has been a true visionary since Day 1. He sees the future we’re building and has been instrumental in our growth,” said Helios CEO and Co-Founder, Sean Austin. “Gerwin and I welcome him to the leadership team as Chief Revenue Officer. His focus and experience will ensure we build an enterprise that can achieve over $100mm in annual gross sales.”

Previously, Kevin worked in enterprise software sales and account management at Oracle. He is experienced in collaborating with clients to ensure they received the right products and has executed on numerous multi-million dollar B2B contracts. Prior to Oracle, Kevin worked in management at ADP where he held a similar role in B2B enterprise software. Kevin’s sales expertise has unquestionably helped drive Helios forward with early adopters and he continues to rapidly expand our customer base.

Kevin’s sales experience, from early beginnings in small business C2C all the way to current day B2B large enterprise, helped him develop the ability to ascertain what people are really saying. His main focus has always been to understand people first in a way that is helpful. When Kevin initially encountered Helios, he saw an interesting parallel in his desire to truly understand people and Helios’ technology that can do this systematically at scale using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

When asked about his thoughts on moving into a full time role with Helios, Kevin noted, “Rich, nuanced, and critically important information is found in how we say what we say.  The ability to bridge the gap of communication at scale by capturing the deeper meaning of a conversation creates ultimate transparency and a clearer understanding.  I am excited to be a part of a team pioneering a space through the power of voice.  We are truly changing the way the world understands.”

Helios is a global leader in alternative data and pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis. With the addition of Kevin Vanderwarker, the team is well-equipped to continue to grow while creating top notch customer and user experiences. We are thrilled that Kevin’s involvement has grown and evolved into this brand new role.
