Medallia (www.medallia.com), the global Customer Experience Management (CEM) leader, today announced Mike Kourey as its new chief financial officer. With over 20 years of financial operating and audit committee experience with both startups and large technology enterprises, Kourey brings extensive hands-on expertise in leading financial strategy and execution for high-growth companies.
 
“Mike is exactly what we have been looking for in a CFO. He brings sharp business and financial acumen as well as a humble and human approach to leadership,” said Borge Hald, CEO and co-founder of Medallia. “Mike has the breadth and depth of experience in scaling companies through rapid phases of growth that will be crucial to Medallia’s continued journey to lead the customer experience industry.”
 
Most recently, Kourey was a partner at Khosla Ventures, where he worked closely with RingCentral to guide the company through its successful initial public offering.

Medallia’s corporate culture is fantastic, and the company is transforming the way customers and brands interact. I see massive growth potential here, and am delighted to contribute to a leadership team focused on helping companies deliver the best possible customer experiences.”
