Billion-dollar customer feedback company Medallia is bringing in a new CEO ahead of a possible IPO in early 2019. The 17-year-old software company based in San Mateo, California, has tapped Leslie Stretch as its new chief executive. Medallia’s new CEO Stretch most recently guided Callidus Software to a $2.4 billion acquisition by SAP in April. And being a public company CEO is a real commitment, an enormous responsibility. Over that time, other companies have raised their own billion-dollar valuation rounds and emerged on the customer experience scene.
