The combination of the company having its strongest-ever leadership team coupled with her ever-persistent start-up itch fueled Kristi’s desire to transition out of the company’s day to day operations at this time. Kristi’s passion for KnowledgeHound’s success remains strong, and she will stay involved with various product and marketing initiatives throughout the year.

“I am so proud and passionate about KnowledgeHound and the exceptional team and solution we have built. As I transition into my next professional chapter, I am thrilled that Laura will be KnowledgeHound’s new CEO,” said Kristi Zuhlke, Founder of KnowledgeHound. “KnowledgeHound’s technology, especially with the recent launch of our new analysis experience, truly provides the most intuitive and accessible survey data analytics solution.
