PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Medallia, Inc. (www.medallia.com), the global Customer Experience Management leader, has appointed Marc Vanlerberghe Chief Marketing Officer. Marc made his name at Google launching and building the Android brand and has over 17 years of executive marketing experience. He will lead Medallia's global marketing organization.

"Marc's expertise in branding and digital is key as we position ourselves for the next phase of growth," said Borge Hald, CEO of Medallia. "Over the past 12 months, we've brought on stellar executive hires across product, IT, and customer success. Bringing in a top-notch CMO was the critical next step."
