Payroll, benefits and compliance provider Gusto, formerly known as ZenPayroll, announced Lexi Reese as its new chief customer experience officer, operating as a company spokesperson and voice for customers.
Reese was formerly a vice president at Google, leading global programmatic platforms for their media buying and ad tech solutions, and prior to that was a leader of AMEX’s small business division.

“As we scale, Lexi and her team are focused on validating our core belief: that growing quickly and providing outstanding service — the kind that makes your day a little bit better — can happen simultaneously,” Josh Reeves, co-founder and CEO of Gusto, said in a blog post announcing Reese’s hire.
