Not one to rest on his achievements, Dag went on to co-found Viv Labs, another groundbreaking AI platform that was later acquired by Samsung. As CEO of Viv Labs and later Vice President of Samsung Mobile, Dag once again demonstrated his ability to drive transformative technology to commercial success. His career also includes senior leadership roles at Motorola and Telenor Mobile, further showcasing his expertise in scaling businesses and leading technological advancements.

Dag Kittlaus is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“Dag and I have worked together first in his role at Motorola, then as an EIR at SRI, and finally as CEO of Siri. In all these roles, Dag was a great leader. He was a master in bringing to life our market concepts, with the most amazing clarity and impact. This is most obvious in his success with Siri, which brings to life the concept of the virtual personal assistant. He worked collaboratively with the team and the board, always with good nature and total engagement. I hope he will again someday come back to SRI to start another great venture”
“He’s got lots of interesting stories to tell: I think very few entrepreneurs have sold multi-hundred-million-dollar companies to both Apple and Samsung; very few people have worked this closely with Steve Jobs on a project that was clearly more than personal to him; very few people have interacted with so many top people, including Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and many more. AI and next-generation interfaces are both very hot topics that Dag knows a lot about, and he is one of the most visionary futurists that I know; I’m sure many companies will be interested to hear where he thinks the world is heading”
