NEW YORK and LONDON and OSLO, Norway, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Forsta, the world leading Customer Experience and Research Technology company, has appointed Jim Reitz as Head of Sales for the Americas, Voice of Customer and Employee (VoC/VoE). Most recently, Reitz was a Managing Director at Adobe where he led a Strategic Accounts practice for the Adobe Experience Cloud focused on digital transformations to help brands achieve one-to-one personalization at scale. A veteran of the VoC/E space, he spent more than 10 years in various roles at OpinionLab, which was ultimately acquired by Verint.
“I am thrilled to be joining Forsta,” said Reitz. “My Adobe experience underscored the importance of leveraging the Voice of Customers as one of the most significant predictive indicators that drive improvements in customer experience and retention. Leading the Americas, I intend to inspire, lead and enable the team to grow exponentially. In doing that, I know we’ll be providing our clients with a partnership that not only exceeds their expectations, but also allows us to grow smarter together.”
