Bernadette Nixon CEO of Algolia the Unicorn Search and AI Company - Voicebot Podcast Ep 221

Bernadette Nixon is CEO of Algolia, a company that processes more
than 1.5 trillion searches per year for over 10,000 customers.
She joined the company in early 2020 in the midst of the global
pandemic and what turned out to be explosive growth. Prior to
Algolia, Nixon was CEO of Alfresco, President of SDL, and an SVP
at OpenText. She has worked across the spectrum of search from
pure SaaS solutions to open source and now is steering the
API-first solution approach at Algolia which includes elements of
customized programmability and SaaS.


We go deep this week on search, how it is evolving, and the
nuances of voice search. We also discuss Algolia's recent $150
million funding round which conferred unicorn status on the
company with a valuation exceeding $2 billion.
