This includes three strategic hires in its international Sales team, significant product improvements focusing on speed and security, a fast-growing partner and reseller network, and record adoption of KUDO AI Speech Translator. 

Expanding the Sales Team and Global Reach 

To meet the growing global demand for language accessibility solutions, KUDO has expanded its Sales team with three new hires across the US, Canada, and APAC. Vanessa Mata, Gad Amar, and Vannerrie Gawaran will focus collectively on strengthening KUDO’s presence in key or emerging markets such as Canada, supporting enterprise accounts, and driving growth in live events and multilingual solutions. This expansion reflects KUDO’s commitment to scaling internationally and ensuring organizations everywhere can access seamless, real-time language accessibility.

Product Enhancements: Speed and Security 

Through their ongoing efforts to improve product user experience, KUDO’s engineering team delivered sweeping improvements to platform performance and reliability, making the KUDO Platform leaner, faster, and more secure than ever: 

• Performance Wins: Join times in large meetings reduced to just 1–2 seconds. Mic and camera connection latency cut nearly in half.

• New Capabilities: Added support for Bosnian, Burmese, Khmer, Telugu, and Uzbek, plus enhanced glossary support for Scandinavian and Eastern European languages. 

These updates reflect KUDO’s continued investment in delivering seamless, reliable, and inclusive multilingual experiences for clients worldwide.
 

Exploding Growth of KUDO AI 

As the demand for AI-translated speech and captions increases, KUDO continues to lead the market in product adoption across both existing and new enterprise clients. 

KUDO AI, the company’s groundbreaking AI-powered speech translation solution, has seen exponential adoption in 2025. Today, 65% of meetings on KUDO are supported by AI, up from just 10% a year ago. This surge demonstrates how quickly organizations are embracing AI-powered speech translation and captions for real-time multilingual collaboration. At the same time, the number of meetings supported by professional (human) interpreters continues to grow, underscoring the strength of KUDO’s hybrid model. Last quarter alone, 45 new clients hosted multilingual meetings on KUDO for the very first time—clear evidence that AI is opening the door to language accessibility in new use cases and markets where it had never been possible before. 

Global Partner Network Expansion 

KUDO has also expanded its global reseller and partner ecosystem, now surpassing 30 partners worldwide. This growing network enables KUDO to reach more clients across industries and geographies, reinforcing its position as the global leader in language accessibility. 

Looking Ahead 

“Our mission is simple but powerful: to make every event and meeting accessible in every language,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “The momentum we’re seeing—from the explosive growth of KUDO AI to the user experience wins in our platform—shows that accessibility is no longer optional. It’s a driver of growth, inclusion, and innovation, and we look forward to another six months leading that march.” 

KUDO’s continued investment in people, product, and partnerships sets the stage for even greater impact heading into 2026.
