Employee survey platform Stribe has promoted Lucy Harvey to CEO following nine years with the business and several years serving as COO.

Harvey joined the company as marketing manager during its early growth stage, when the business operated a single product, Tootoot, an anti-bullying platform designed to help children and young people safely speak up. 

During this period, the business partnered with the UK Department for Education, supported more than 600,000 young people globally, and built the foundations that would later shape Stribe’s approach to employee voice.

Her appointment comes during a period of significant momentum for Stribe, which has doubled customer numbers for the second consecutive year and grown ARR by 40% YoY. 

Founder Kieran Innes will step aside but remain with the business. He wrote on LinkedIn: “This change means I’ll be getting even more focused on product development, building on the momentum we’ve created, improving the tools our customers rely on, and continuing to make sure Stribe and Tootoot help give people a voice in workplaces, schools, and beyond.”
