SurveyMonkey Hires EMEA Enterprise Sales Exec

In Dublin, Ireland, DIY survey software firm SurveyMonkey has hired former Facebook / Google exec Joe Cummiskey as Senior Director of Enterprise Sales in EMEA.

SurveyMonkey moved its European headquarters to Dublin in 2014, and relocated its international team there from its office in Lisbon. Cummiskey (pictured) joins after leading international sales departments at Google and Facebook. As Facebook's Head of Sales for the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan business, he launched and drove the firm's agency program in Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa. Prior to this, he held various roles in Google's Dublin headquarters, building the company's European operations, with a special focus on emerging markets and the Middle East.

In his new role, Cummiskey is tasked with building and leading SurveyMonkey's sales organisation in the EMEA region. He will also hire and oversee a team of sales and business development managers. Chief Sales Officer John Schoenstein comments: 'We have a strong international presence and brand awareness, but just over a third of our revenue comes from customers outside of the United States. We see a significant opportunity to expand this share over the next several years, and Joe's expertise will help us quickly gain momentum and grow sales-assisted revenue in our key international markets'.
