IntouchCX is a customer experience outsourcing company founded in Canada in 2000 and recorded as headquartered in Winnipeg. It describes itself as a global leader in digital customer experience management, back office processing, trust and safety, and AI services, and says it operates in 12 countries and 25 campuses.
The firm sits in the mid-sized tier of CX providers that compete with Foundever, TaskUs and TELUS Digital for work from digital platforms, e-commerce companies and technology brands. Its private capital lender Penfund describes it as a provider of outsourced customer care services to digital platform, digital media and e-commerce companies, which captures its historic client focus.
Its recent moves show a firm expanding offshore capacity and productising AI at the same time. In July 2026 it opened a 2,500-seat campus at GH Tower in San Juan City, with nearly 4,000 new jobs planned through the first quarter of 2027, and in May 2026 its IntouchAI framework was named Technology of the Year at the 2026 Excellence in Customer Service Awards.
Older descriptions are narrower. Outsource Accelerator's directory profile describes IntouchCX as a global contact center outsourcing company, a description that predates its current positioning across AI services and trust and safety.
Services & Capabilities
IntouchCX organises its offer around four lines, and its emphasis has shifted from voice support towards trust and safety and AI work.
- Digital customer experience: omnichannel care across voice, chat, email, social, SMS and self-service, plus sales support.
- Back office processing: transactional and administrative work behind customer operations.
- Trust & Safety: content moderation, fraud and compliance work; the company cites 18+ years of expertise in this line.
- AI services: data annotation and other human-in-the-loop work supporting clients' AI models.
The platform record lists service lines in AI and automation services, e-commerce support, IT development, supply chain and logistics, and inbound voice.
Trust and safety positioning: In September 2026 IntouchCX launched a second season of its Trust Issues podcast on online safety, part of a deliberate effort to build a thought-leadership profile in content moderation. Trust and safety is a specialist market where TaskUs and TELUS Digital are its closest competitors, and it carries higher skill requirements and moderator wellbeing obligations than standard care.
Assessment: The mix gives IntouchCX exposure to the faster-growing segments of the CX market, AI data work and moderation, while its core care business faces the same automation pressure as the rest of the sector. The company's own messaging, that AI should make agents better rather than replace them, reflects that balance.
Client Base & Market Position
IntouchCX's client base has historically been weighted towards digital platforms, digital media and e-commerce companies. The platform record lists automotive, e-commerce and retail, energy and utilities, technology and SaaS, and travel and hospitality as its verticals.
Case evidence: The company cites results for unnamed clients rather than naming them. For a leading vacation rental marketplace, it says IntouchAI achieved a 41% increase in expense accuracy and projected $17.6 million in annual network-wide savings. In August 2026 IntouchCX Digital CX reported that AI roleplay training lifted CSAT by 7%.
Analyst recognition: In November 2025 IntouchCX was recognised as a Leader in Everest Group's Americas PEAK Matrix Assessment 2025, and in December 2025 its IntouchAI product was named a Major Contender in Everest Group's assessment of conversational AI and AI agents in CXM. In February 2026 it earned Gold, Silver and Bronze at the 20th Annual Stevie Awards for Sales.
The recognition places IntouchCX among the recognised mid-market alternatives to the largest CX groups, and its reliance on unnamed case studies is typical of providers serving large technology platforms under confidentiality terms.
No named clients were found on the company's own pages during research.
Delivery Infrastructure & Operations
IntouchCX runs a multi-shore network. Its website lists sites in Winnipeg, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Orlando and in Mexico; in Bogota, Guatemala City, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula in Latin America; in Cebu, Clark, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Bengaluru and Hyderabad in Asia-Pacific; in Athens; in Cairo; and in Montego Bay and Kingston in the Caribbean.
Philippines: This is its main growth market. IntouchCX launched operations in the Philippines in 2016, and in July 2026 it opened a 5-floor campus at GH Tower in Greenhills, San Juan City, with capacity for approximately 2,500 seats. The expansion is expected by the company to create nearly 4,000 new jobs in phases through the first quarter of 2027. Current postings include a training facilitator and real-time analyst in Cebu and a senior operations manager in Metro Manila.
Europe: Its Athens office opened in 2020 with eight employees and has grown to more than 200 people representing over 20 nationalities. In May 2026 it announced more than 120 new on-site openings for bilingual English and German speakers, positioning Athens as a multilingual hub for European clients.
Other hubs: Current postings include quality and training roles in Bengaluru and Cairo, a business analyst in Bogota, a quality assurance analyst in Guatemala City and team leads in San Pedro Sula and Clearwater, Florida. The platform tracks 49 open roles.
The spread lets IntouchCX offer onshore North American, nearshore Latin American, offshore Asian and multilingual European delivery, a broader footprint than many firms of its size.
Ownership, Financials & Scale
Ownership: IntouchCX is recorded as Private. Canadian private capital firm Penfund lists IntouchCX in its portfolio as a second lien debt and equity co-invest holding, and names Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan as the equity sponsor.
The structure combines a large institutional equity investor with subordinated private credit. That gives the company access to growth capital for campus expansion, while the second lien debt adds fixed financing obligations alongside it.
Scale: IntouchCX says it operates in 12 countries and 25 campuses and has been operating for over 25 years. Earlier records put the workforce at 35,000, a figure that could not be confirmed from the company's own pages.
No filed or company-published revenue figure was found during research.
People, Leadership & Culture
Leadership: The platform record lists Mitul Kotecha and Shane Kozlowich as Co-CEOs and Greg Fettes as Founder and Executive Chair. Samantha Burnard is Chief Financial Officer, Bob Cavanaugh is Chief Technology Officer, Brent Stevenson is Chief Experience Officer and Dishant Bhojwani is Global Chief Operating Officer. The move from a founder-CEO to co-CEOs with the founder as executive chair is a common succession step as a founder-led firm scales.
Operating leaders: Ken Layug, Executive Vice President, Operations & Campus (Philippines & Malaysia), leads its largest growth market, and Alexia Orfanoudaki is VP Country Manager for Greece.
Talent movement: Over the past 24 months the platform recorded 20 senior arrivals and 7 departures. Arrivals came most often from Foundever, as well as Accenture, Tech Mahindra and iQor; departures went to Movate, Firstsource, WNS, VXI and Everise. A net inflow from larger CX competitors points to a firm recruiting experienced leaders to support its expansion.
Career development: In Athens, the company says 66% of its leaders have grown into their roles through internal promotions. In August 2026 it received a 2026 Sustainability Leadership Award for advancing measurable ESG impact.
Employee voice: Philippine recruitment posts in 2026 advertised packages of up to 25K for voice and non-voice accounts, and online forums include both positive staff posts and resignation accounts, a mixed picture typical of high-volume CX employers.
Technology & Innovation
IntouchCX has built a portfolio of named tools around its service delivery, including Catapult, Vision, Sidd Spark, Laivly, Akin, IntouchAI, IntouchDisrupt and IntouchNXT.
IntouchAI: Its automation framework combines generative AI with workflow automation across the interaction lifecycle, integrating with clients' existing technology stacks. In May 2026 it was named Technology of the Year at the 2026 Excellence in Customer Service Awards, and in December 2025 Everest Group named it a Major Contender in its CXM conversational AI and AI agents products assessment.
Training and quality: In June 2026 IntouchCX won Platinum in the 2026 TITAN Innovation Awards for Vision Prism, and in August 2026 it reported that AI roleplay training lifted CSAT by 7%. Training and quality tools of this kind address agent ramp-up time, a persistent cost in high-attrition CX operations.
Positioning: Chief Experience Officer Brent Stevenson argues that the brands winning in CX are using AI to make their people exceptional rather than choosing between AI and people. That human-in-the-loop stance protects its labour-based revenue while selling automation, a balance every mid-sized CX provider is now trying to strike.
Having its own products differentiates IntouchCX from providers that only resell vendor platforms, though the scale of investment behind them is smaller than at the largest CX groups.
Strategic Assessment
Strengths
- Multi-shore footprint: 12 countries and 25 campuses spanning North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.

Opportunities
- Philippine scale-up: The 2,500-seat GH Tower campus adds capacity for North American demand.
