giant SAP culminating in her senior director roles of sales and business
development for their AI solutions. More recently, Laffan was the Client
Executive at AllyO, an end-to-end AI recruiter with automated and
conversational engagement platforms.

“This is a pivotal time to join an AI Company. The space is experiencing
tremendous expansion, with immense possibilities,” said Margaret Laffan.
