Zendesk, Inc. (NYSE: ZEN) announced today the appointment of

“Mike brings valuable product development experience to us from
Workday, where he is responsible for scaling massive engineering
teams to build powerful, reliable, and market-leading products that
empower enterprises to solve complex problems,” said Mikkel Svane,

applications. He led TradePoint from delivery of a successful
product prototype to the sale of the company to DemandTec in 2006
(which was then acquired by IBM in 2011). He holds a B.S. in
Business from the University of Colorado.
“Zendesk’s vision for the future of customer relationships truly
excites me,” said Frandsen. “The time is ripe for a tectonic shift
in how enterprises will use technology to build better
relationships with their customers -- and Zendesk is in the middle
of it. I am thrilled to be a part of this journey.”
