Elizabeth is recognized as a visionary leader in the customer and employee experience industry. She is currently an advisor and investor in early stage companies, having recently retired from a 21 year career at Medallia, a leading software company in the customer experience space.

As a member of the founding team, Elizabeth joined Medallia in 2001 as employee number three and helped build the company into an industry leader with 2000 employees and more than $500M in annual revenue. She was part of the management team that took Medallia public in 2019, and through a subsequent $6.4B buyout in 2021 by private equity firm, Thoma Bravo.
