Betterworks Elevates Cheryl Johnson to Chief Product and Technology Officer<\/h1>\n

The former Salesforce.com executive fuses her technical and business acumen to lead the engineering, product, and design teams<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MENLO PARK, Calif. \u2013 May 9, 2024 \u2013<\/b> Betterworks<\/span><\/a>, the leading intelligent performance management software company, today announced the promotion of Cheryl Johnson from senior vice president of engineering to chief product and technology officer (CPTO). Johnson will oversee Betterworks\u2019 engineering, product, and design teams in her new position. This restructuring strategically marries Johnson\u2019s strong technical background with a product leadership role ahead of generative AI\u2019s potentially game-changing disruption in the talent marketplace sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCheryl\u2019s promotion to CPTO is a testament to her proven leadership and expertise,\u201d said Doug Dennerline, Betterworks CEO. \u201cWith a track record of success in pivotal roles at Salesforce.com and other industry-leading firms, Cheryl brings a wealth of experience and vision to Betterworks. Her profound understanding of our products and technical acumen perfectly align her to spearhead our innovation efforts and drive our company forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson is charged with shaping a compelling product strategy and roadmap that reflects customer needs, redefining performance management practices for global enterprises. Her leadership ensures seamless alignment<\/span> across departments, fostering a culture of innovation, speed, and agility to cultivate robust and mutually beneficial product and technical partnerships that deliver unrivaled value for Betterworks\u2019 customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy track record of scaling products and teams, along with my passion for empowering underrepresented voices in technology, make this a perfect opportunity to step into this new role as Betterworks\u2019 CPTO,\u201d commented Johnson. \u201cI am particularly energized by the promise of generative AI and how the disruption it\u2019s creating can revolutionize HR practices globally. I look forward to building on Betterworks\u2019 foundation of excellence to deliver transformative performance management solutions that make work better for everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s impressive career boasts numerous milestones. She was instrumental in driving tremendous growth as a top-level executive at Salesforce, where she scaled the platform\u2019s quality engineering division from 100+ team members and grew its nonprofit and education business to hundreds of millions of users in 4.5 years. She also successfully piloted products for healthcare startups Curve Health and Thrive Global.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBetterworks is the best of both worlds,\u201d added Johnson. \u201cWe move at the speed of an agile startup but with the maturity of a large enterprise. There are so many talented, experienced, and kind people at Betterworks, it makes work an absolute pleasure. We also benefit from working with some amazing customers at the forefront of transforming HR practices to benefit their businesses. I feel grateful to have such a wealth of thought partners that my team and I can tap into as we look toward the future. As a convert to remote work, and as a busy single mom with aging parents, I appreciate our remote-first culture and its flexibility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s commitment to diversifying the C-suite across the tech industry is a strategic imperative for Betterworks. A certified executive coach, Johnson is dedicated to empowering women and other underrepresented engineers to maximize their leadership potential.<\/span><\/p>\n
