"I believe McorpCX is one of the leading companies that enhance customer and employee experience ("CX"), brand, and loyalty by leveraging data across all customer touchpoints. I couldn't be more excited to be part of this organization, which I believe delivers high quality service and innovative solutions to a very marquee set of clients" said Mr. Makhija. "The opportunity ahead for McorpCX is vast, and a big part of my job will be to accelerate and expand the portfolio of solutions, through both organic and inorganic means, in order to drive value for our shareholders, and bring comprehensive CX solutions to our customers."

Most recently, Mr. Makhija was simultaneously CEO of leading Policy Administration Software product companies Wyde (Life/P&C Insurance) and Eldorado (Health Insurance), both part of Mphasis, a $1Billion Blackstone majority owned IT services firm.

Mr. Makhija succeeds Gregg Budoi, who while stepping down from the position of Interim CEO and President will remain a member of the McorpCX Board of Directors. "I joined the Company to serve as the Interim CEO and President while we searched for a leader with a demonstrated track record of growing technology-enhanced consultative and analytics companies" stated Mr. Budoi. "In joining McorpCX, I believe Mr. Makhija brings the expertise necessary to facilitate our continued organic growth while seeking complimentary platform companies or technologies to further our consultative CX business."

Commencing in the fall of 2017, McorpCX dedicated its resources toward growing its CX consulting business.
