How Canva Serves 230M+ Users with Customer Experience, AI, and Data


Listen Later

Canva has over 230 million users. Their AI features? Used more than 16 billion times in the past year.

So how does a company at that scale keep customer experience simple, human, and aligned?

I sat down with Rob Gilio, Chief Customer Officer at Canva, to unpack how they're scaling CX, sales, and support—without losing their design-driven soul.

We talked about:

  • The "bow tie" framework Canva uses to align teams across the full journey
  • Why background remover became their most-used AI feature—and how business users deploy it at scale
  • How Canva blends product-led growth with real human support across global teams
  • Why CXOs must own post-purchase if they want to unlock enterprise value

If you're rethinking how to scale CX with AI, data, and design in a high-growth business—this one's for you.
