ElevenLabs appoints Stella Treas as Chief of Staff to the CRO

ElevenLabs has appointed Stella Treas as Chief of Staff to Chief Revenue Officer Ashley Kramer, bringing experience from OpenAI to the rapidly growing AI company.

Stella announced the move on LinkedIn, reflecting on her time at OpenAI and describing ElevenLabs as a company that stood out for its people, product, growth and mission.

Her appointment comes as ElevenLabs continues to build its position in AI voice technology, with the company focused on developing AI that can communicate and interact at a human level.

Joining ElevenLabs' Revenue Leadership Team

As Chief of Staff to the CRO, Stella will work closely with Ashley Kramer, supporting the Chief Revenue Officer's organisation and priorities.

The Chief of Staff role sits close to executive leadership and typically involves coordinating strategic priorities, driving cross-functional alignment and helping translate leadership objectives into execution.

At ElevenLabs, Stella joins a revenue organisation operating within a rapidly expanding AI market, where commercial scale is increasingly important alongside advances in product capability.

Bringing OpenAI Experience

Stella joins ElevenLabs after a period at OpenAI, where she says she worked on programmes that contributed to significant revenue growth and collaborated with teams working at the forefront of artificial intelligence.

Her experience at OpenAI gives her exposure to the operational and commercial challenges associated with scaling AI products and programmes.

That background will now be applied within ElevenLabs as the company continues to expand its product, customer and commercial footprint.

AI That Communicates at a Human Level

A key reason Stella cited for joining ElevenLabs is the company's focus on AI that communicates at a human level.

ElevenLabs develops AI voice technology spanning text-to-speech, speech-to-text, conversational AI, voice cloning and related audio applications.

The company has expanded beyond voice generation into a broader platform for creating and deploying AI-powered voice experiences, positioning its technology across areas including customer service, media, entertainment and enterprise applications.

Supporting Commercial Growth

Stella's appointment comes at a stage where ElevenLabs is moving from a specialised voice AI company toward a broader AI communications platform.

That evolution increases the importance of connecting product innovation with commercial execution, customer relationships and scalable revenue operations.

Working alongside the CRO, Stella will be positioned close to these priorities as ElevenLabs continues to expand its business.

A New Chapter After OpenAI

Stella said she had not originally planned to leave OpenAI so soon, but described the opportunity at ElevenLabs as one she could not pass up.

Her decision reflects the attraction of joining another high-growth AI company at a time when voice and multimodal interaction are becoming increasingly important areas of the technology landscape.

For ElevenLabs, her arrival adds experience from another leading AI company to its senior commercial organisation.

Building the Next Phase of ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs has built its reputation around AI-powered voice technology and is increasingly extending that technology into broader conversational and enterprise use cases.

Stella's new role places her alongside Ashley Kramer and the company's revenue leadership as ElevenLabs works to scale its commercial operations.

With experience from OpenAI and a focus on executive and cross-functional execution, Stella brings a perspective shaped by one of the world's most prominent AI companies into her new role at ElevenLabs.
