In the future, every conference room—physical and virtual—will have a 'UserTesting button' so that decision-makers can get input from real customers on all important decisions, and I'm excited to serve in making this future a reality. Today, as the world rapidly changes around us, the ability for companies to listen closely to their current and aspirational customers is more important than ever."
