Annette Cumming

Annette Cumming serves as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Cerebri AI, where she leads global business development, builds strategic alliances across the travel, expense, and procurement ecosystem, and accelerates the company's go-to-market execution. She joined Cerebri AI in April 2026 alongside other key leadership additions, as the company prepared to launch its suite of agentic AI-powered Cerebri CAI Agents built on the Cerebri AIQ data solution. In her role, Annette is responsible for broadening Cerebri AI's reach and forging the partnerships that will scale its data and agentic AI capabilities across enterprise customers worldwide.

Annette brings more than three decades of experience in strategic partnerships, enterprise sales, and market expansion in the business travel industry. Most recently, she was Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at BTP Automation, where she helped build and lead a venture focused on automating high-friction processes in corporate travel. Prior to that, she served as Vice President of Sales at Deem, Head of NORAM Hospitality at Travelport, and General Manager at American Express Global Business Travel—a career spanning many of the most influential companies shaping how enterprises manage their travel programs.

Across these roles, Annette has built a reputation for designing high-value ecosystems, driving revenue through complex strategic relationships, and translating market opportunities into commercial growth. At Cerebri AI, she brings that experience to bear on a pivotal moment for the industry, as managed travel programs evolve from data analytics to fully autonomous, agentic AI solutions.
