Qualtrics Brings in New Head of Corporate Strategy and Business Development to Build Out Experience Management Ecosystem

Singapore, 17 July
2017 – Qualtrics, the
leader in experience management software, today announced the appointment
of John Torrey, former Chief Corporate Development Officer for SAP and EVP
of Corporate Strategy for Concur Technologies, as head of corporate strategy,
corporate development, and business development.

“We couldn’t be
more pleased to have John join our team,” said Ryan Smith, co-founder
and CEO of Qualtrics. “As Qualtrics expands the ecosystem it is building
around our experience management platform it will require building key
relationships across many industries. Bringing John in to head up our strategy,
corporate and business development team will allow us to accelerate the pace at
which we help organizations manage the experiences they provide their customers
and employees.”

In his role as head of
corporate strategy, corporate development, and business development, Torrey’s
responsibilities include Qualtrics’ strategic planning, partnerships and
M&A initiatives. This new role reflects Qualtrics’ deep commitment to an
experience management ecosystem of consultants, developers, and system
integrators to provide a wealth of expertise, technical skills and services for
thousands of enterprise customers, including more than 75 percent of the
Fortune 100 who are building on the Qualtrics XM Platform™.

“Qualtrics
pioneered the experience management industry,” said Torrey. “There is
nothing more exciting than working with an ecosystem of partners who are
revolutionizing the way organizations understand and engage their customers,
employees, products and brands.”

Torrey most recently
ran corporate and strategic business development for SAP, where he was also
Chief Strategy Officer for the company’s Business Networks and Applications
Group which houses the majority of SAP’s public cloud application units. Before
SAP, Torrey served as Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy at Concur
Technologies, where he was instrumental in helping to grow one of the first and
most successful cloud application businesses, later acquired by SAP.
Before joining Concur, he was an equity research analyst at Adams Harkness,
Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group, and Montgomery & Co., where he
was also Director of Research.

Qualtrics is
continuing to experience dramatic growth and international expansion. In the
past three years, the 15-year-old private company has opened nine
additional offices in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia.
Last year, Qualtrics opened a new, 150,000-square-foot headquarters in Provo,
Utah, which Forbes dubbed “tech’s boldest new
headquarters.” Seattle, Qualtrics’ second largest office, is the
company’s co-headquarters and is home to several executives as well as members
of the company’s design, marketing, product and engineering teams. Qualtrics is
also regularly awarded high-profile accolades. Earlier this week, it was listed
at No. 6 on the Forbes 2017 Cloud 100 list of the world’s top private cloud
companies. In addition, Qualtrics was listed at No. 28 on CNBC’s Disruptor 50
list of the most innovative private companies in the world. And late last year
its CEO, Ryan Smith, was listed at No. 12 on Fortune’s 2016 40 Under 40
list of “the most powerful, influential, and successful young people in
business.”

Qualtrics is a single
system of record for all experience data, also called X-data™, allowing
