Sovos has appointed Yann Ravel-Sibillot Chief AI Officer and Yoni Lavi Chief Data Officer as the company expands the use of artificial intelligence and data across its tax compliance platform.
ATLANTA, Nov. 11, 2026, (TECH INFO SCENE) — Tax compliance software company Sovos has appointed Yann Ravel-Sibillot Chief AI Officer and Yoni Lavi Chief Data Officer.
The appointments follow Sovos’ acquisitions of AI VAT intelligence and recovery platform Blue dot in September and finance orchestration company Flowie in October.
Ravel-Sibillot and Lavi will lead efforts to integrate technology from the acquired companies across Sovos’ Agentic Tax Compliance Platform, including the Sovos Graph, which maps relationships among business processes, systems, data sources and compliance requirements.
"We have an aggressive roadmap of AI innovation that will reshape our industry and solve the problems our customers face every day. We are committed to delivering the highest value products to our customers and these new roles are another step in that journey. Yann and Yoni are founders who have built and shipped products in the real world. Yann has a rare ability to turn emerging AI into solutions customers can trust, and Yoni has a track record of building scalable data architecture, along with a legal background that suits our regulated environment. I can’t think of a better pair of executives to lead these key functions," said Gregg Spratto, President of Sovos.
As Chief AI Officer, Ravel-Sibillot will lead Sovos’ AI strategy and the use of artificial intelligence across its platform, with a focus on security, accuracy and practical deployment.
He previously Co-Founded Flowie and served as its Chief Executive Officer. Flowie developed AI-native agents for finance and procurement functions including accounts payable, procure-to-pay, contracts, invoicing and collections.
“Compliance is a domain where AI has to be accurate, secure, and explainable, or it isn’t useful. I’m excited to build on what Sovos has already established and put AI to work so customers can stay compliant while building efficiencies of scale across their tax and finance departments,” said Ravel-Sibillot.
As Chief Data Officer, Lavi will oversee Sovos’ data and AI strategy, including data architecture, governance and quality.
Lavi brings 20 years of experience developing enterprise software and SaaS products and managing research and development organizations. Most recently, he served as Co-Chief Executive Officer of Blue dot, a Tel Aviv-based AI VAT intelligence and recovery platform.
Earlier in his career, Lavi Co-Founded and led a startup that developed Quality Experience technology for global telecommunications providers. He holds a law degree from Tel Aviv University.
“Sovos sits on one of the most valuable regulatory and transactional data sets in the world. My goal is to turn that data into a lasting advantage for customers, with the quality, governance, and architecture that regulated industries demand,” said Lavi.
Sovos reports processesing more than 70 billion transactions annually across more than 150 countries and serving more than 100,000 customers.
