Momentive, the maker of SurveyMonkey, today announced that it will return to its iconic SurveyMonkey brand name under the direction of new CEO Eric Johnson. Departing CEO Zander Lurie recently stepped down after seven years leading the company.

Johnson was named CEO following the completion of the company’s acquisition by an investor consortium led by Symphony Technology Group (STG) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion. He joined the company in 2022 as interim Chief Marketing Officer to guide marketing strategy, brand development, and overall growth. Johnson has an extensive background building digital businesses as CEO at LaneOne, a digital ticketing platform, and EVP & General Manager at CBS Interactive. He previously served as President of the music streaming and ecommerce business Wolfgang’s Vault and started his career in Investment Banking at JPMorgan, covering software and digital media companies.

“We are excited about the opportunities SurveyMonkey has in front of it. As we execute against our core priorities, we are enthusiastic to partner with new leadership and welcome Eric as CEO,” said J.T. Treadwell, Managing Director at STG. “Over the last three decades, Eric has shown that he is a strong customer- and innovation-centric leader, with deep experience in digital-first brands. He joins us with tremendous passion for the SurveyMonkey franchise and people, and we look forward to building the business together.”
