REDWOOD CITY, CA. – June 19, 2012 – Enkata (http://www.enkata.com), the leader in customer experience analytics and workforce optimization solutions in the cloud, today announced that Catherine Card has joined the company as Vice President of Product Management. Catherine brings more than 20 years of experience from Netflix, RedEnvelope, PeopleSoft, Noblestar and most recently Zynga, where she served as Director of Product Management.

"Catherine shares our vision of improving individual and team performance in functions ranging from accounting to sales by using game theory and healthy competition.
