SurveyMonkey (Nasdaq: SVMK), a leader in agile software solutions for customer experience, market research, and survey feedback, today announced former Oracle executive Graham Douglas has joined SurveyMonkey as vice president of CX sales in EMEA.

“Graham has experience with some of the largest enterprise technology companies in the world, and we’re eager to add his expertise to SurveyMonkey’s strategy for growing our international footprint in customer experience,” said John Schoenstein, chief sales officer at SurveyMonkey. “We’ve made focused investments in our global organisation, and new customers like Carrefour Group exemplify our momentum in EMEA and beyond. I’m looking forward to adding Graham’s passion to the energy we’ve built as we continue to grow.”
Douglas has more than two decades of experience in enterprise technology, holding management positions at companies like Compaq, PTC, Synergy, and most recently Oracle, where he led sales for the organisation across Europe. His appointment follows SurveyMonkey’s momentum in the region including the launch of its European data centre, the acquisition of Amsterdam-based voice-of-the-customer company Usabilla in 2019, and a growing customer base of brands like The Economist, HelloFresh, and Babbel.

“SurveyMonkey’s ability to gather data simply and quickly with the GetFeedback platform makes it one of the most powerful CX solutions on the market and I’m excited about the opportunities here,” Douglas said. “I’m looking forward to working alongside marketing, product, engineering and other areas of the business to help implement initiatives that will increase SurveyMonkey’s impact globally.”
Douglas will lead his EMEA team from Dublin, where he is based.
Organisations can leverage the GetFeedback platform to set up their CX programme within days—not months—to quickly understand and act on customer insights through its easy-to-deploy, cost-efficient software. The GetFeedback platform combines the power of Usabilla and U.S.-based customer experience management company GetFeedback, which was also acquired by SurveyMonkey in 2019.
