On Friday, Qualtrics CEO Jason Maynard announced the exit of five senior executives as part of a broader reorganization aimed at accelerating AI capabilities. The announcement was made at the company's dual headquarters in downtown Seattle and Provo, Utah, less than three months after Maynard assumed the role on Feb. 3. The memo described the changes as a "difficult but important step" designed to simplify the organization and position the firm for its next growth phase. The departing leaders include Brad Anderson, president of products, UX, engineering and security; Eddie Chen, chief strategy and corporate development officer; Jeff Gelfuso, SVP and chief product and experience officer; Juan Rodriguez Estevez, chief information officer; and Lynn Girotto, chief marketing officer. Anderson had served at Qualtrics for more than five years and spent nearly 18 years as a high-ranking Microsoft executive. The company, which employs more than 4,500 people worldwide, has been privately held since a 2023 buyout by Silver Lake and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Maynard's memo noted that the reorganization would involve reshuffling teams across marketing, customer operations, IT, and corporate development, with a new SVP of marketing to be named Monday. He emphasized that the goal was to "ensure we build with speed, clarity and a relentless focus on driving stronger outcomes for customers and bringing new AI capabilities to market faster." The CEO thanked Anderson for his leadership and impact, underscoring the company's commitment to a streamlined structure. It's not clear how many employees were impacted by the changes overall. Qualtrics is not yet commenting publicly on the changes.
