Former Qualtrics Exec Takes CRO Role at Alchemer

Alchemer, the experience management and enterprise feedback tech company once known as SurveyGizmo, has appointed former Qualtrics and Oracle exec Brandon Hodges as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

Alchemer provides survey, workflow, audience, communication and analysis tools helping companies to 'close the loop with their customers and employees quickly and effectively'. Tools on the platform include Alchemer Survey, Alchemer Workflow and Alchemer Mobile. The firm sold a majority stake to US-based private equity firm and GfK investor KKR in May last year, and at the start of this year acquired mobile CX specialist Apptentive.

Hodges (pictured) spent the last eight and a half years at Qualtrics, most recently as VP of Sales for Financial Services, and earlier nine and a half years at Oracle, latterly as Senior Director Solution Consulting. In his new role he takes full responsibility for Alchemer's go-to-market operations, including domestic and international sales, partnerships, new and expansion sales, customer retention and account management, and sales operations.

Alchemer CEO David Roberts comments: 'We are excited to add a sales leader of Brandon's caliber to Alchemer. After eight years at Qualtrics, he knows our industry and target buyers extremely well. He brings seasoned leadership and the right sales disciplines to help us grow even faster, following a year when Alchemer grew by 50%'.
