Nick Kitchens Appointed as Global Head of Sales & Business Development at Druid AI

Druid AI has appointed Nick Kitchens as Global Head of Sales & Business Development. Kitchens brings more than 15 years of experience, according to Crustdata people data, and joins from Avaamo, where the remit covered sales and business development worldwide. The move caps a steady climb through sales roles at NiCE, Sirion and Weave.

Career Highlights

At Avaamo, Kitchens led sales and business development on a global scale, a senior role spanning both disciplines. That post followed a stint as Manager, Sales Development at Sirion from 2024 to 2026, and before that an Account Executive role at Weave.

Much of the foundation was built at NiCE, where Kitchens rose from Senior Sales & Business Developer to Sales Development Manager and went on to work as an Account Executive. During those early NiCE years, a parallel role as Data Analyst at the Polynesian Cultural Center added analytical grounding to a career shaped by sales.
