Gordian Braun leads Growth across EMEA and LATAM at ElevenLabs, the global leader in AI voice technology with an $11 billion valuation. His path to the frontier of voice AI runs through 17 years of hands-on company building: a banking apprenticeship, an MBA from Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business, founding and investing roles, including as a Founding Investor at email automation SaaS Mailivery and over three years as an Interim General Manager for PE-backed scale-ups, among them Groupe Mentor, a family-owned enterprise with 2,400 employees across 15 countries. In 2020, he was accepted into Y Combinator's W20 batch, part of the same network as Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe, with a global acceptance rate of 0.1%. At ElevenLabs, Gordian brings an operator's discipline to one of enterprise AI's most consequential shifts: the move from voice as a feature to voice as infrastructure .
