Perceptyx Appoints Former Cornerstone OnDemand COO Kirsten Helvey to Board
Helvey to play key advisory role as employee listening platform scales three-fold to meet demand
Perceptyx, the leading employee listening, and people analytics platform has appointed HR tech executive Kirsten Helvey to its board of directors.
Helvey is an accomplished leader in the HR SaaS market. She is best known for her 15-year tenure at Cornerstone OnDemand, the $3 billion talent management platform provider. Having joined the firm when it was a 30-person startup, Helvey rose through the ranks to become COO, overseeing all global operations and client satisfaction. She was instrumental in scaling Cornerstone from 30 to 2,000 employees and will bring that experience to Perceptyx as it navigates its own rapid growth.
“Perceptyx has exactly what Fortune 500 companies need right now: the tools to listen to employees and the expertise to turn feedback into action. No other company in this space solves employee experience problems the way Perceptyx does,” said Helvey. “Frankly, any enterprise hoping to navigate the post-pandemic era successfully needs Perceptyx. I can’t wait to help the team meet this opportunity.”
