San Francisco, CA, June 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Customer experience solutions company Touchpoint Metrics Inc. (OTCQB:TPOI) today announced that Mr. Stephen Shay has joined the company as Vice President.
A key member of the company's management team, Mr. Shay will
serve a strategic leadership role across multiple aspects of the
business. In addition to helping define and execute on company
strategy, his key responsibilities will include building and
scaling sales and distribution capabilities to help generate
demand, and drive revenue across all product and service lines. In
addition, he will play a key role in defining non-organic growth
and integration strategies.
"Stephen has an impressive track record of successfully building
and leading customer- and partner-focused sales teams," said
Michael Hinshaw, CEO of Touchpoint Metrics. "As importantly, his
expertise as a customer experience executive in a global technology
leader, and his experience identifying and successfully integrating
close to a hundred technology company acquisitions is a significant
asset. We are thrilled to have Stephen join our leadership team,
and look forward to working closely with him to accelerate
Touchpoint Metrics growth in the fast-moving months and years
ahead."
Prior to joining Touchpoint Metrics, Mr. Shay enjoyed a nearly 21 year career with Microsoft Corporation, where he served as an executive leader in key roles across sales, operations and IT. Most recently, he served as General Manager, Customer Experience from 2010 through 2014, where he was responsible for strategy development and transformational change management of Microsoft's global organizational approach to delivering Connected Customer Experiences. In this role, he drove high-impact initiatives that helped to transform the customer centricity of the organization, delivering simplified, seamless omni-channel interactions across employee, customer and partner lifecycles.
As General Manager, Strategy & Business Development from
2005 to 2010, he led the sales, marketing and services functions
supporting the company's acquisition growth strategy - building
monetization and integration strategies for 90+ acquisitions with a
total consideration of $13 Billion. Prior to this, Mr. Shay held
executive leadership positions across Infrastructure Optimization
where he was responsible for accelerating the global adoption and
deployment of Microsoft technology by Enterprise customers, and in
Enterprise Technical Sales where he defined strategies, built tools
and programs in support of and provided leadership for the 2,200
member global technical sales team.
"Having led sales, marketing and technical organizations for over
20 years, my passion for the discipline of customer experience
management is a logical one. From the perspective of an Enterprise
Technology leader, I saw time and again the importance of aligning
customer, partner and employee expectations with what organizations
actually delivered to them. This perspective was a leading factor
in the high success rates I enjoyed integrating over 90
acquisitions," said Mr. Shay. "I'm thrilled to join an
innovation-driven leader like Touchpoint Metrics, and really look
forward to working closely with our customers, partners and the
entire team to help chart and drive growth in one of the most
relevant, exciting and fast-moving industries there is today," he
