First-hand experience has taught Melbourne-based technology ecosystem stalwart Amy Foo that the strength of a high-growth company’s internal culture has a close correlation with its success.

“The most expensive thing in a tech company’s P&L is your people,” says the senior vice president of finance and revenue operations at employee experience software-as-a-service provider, Culture Amp.

“So, if you don’t have the right measures and analytics to drive culture, you’re not going to be getting the most ROI out of your biggest investment. I believe this should be at the heart of every company that wants to be successful.”

This strong-held belief was behind Foo’s decision to join Culture Amp in 2022, bringing with her more than two decades of experience in senior finance and operational roles with technology and software companies including Zendesk, Serena Software, BEA Systems and IBM, along with auditing experience at big four firms EY and KPMG.

It was a move she describes as “like a dream fusion” for her. “Culture Amp is a tech company; it is focused on growth; and it also has a mission to create a better world of work – so it brings together these three things that I’m passionate about in the one place.”   

Amped-up unicorn

Co-founded in 2009 by Didier Elzinga and headquartered in Melbourne, Culture Amp uses a data-driven approach to help businesses improve workplace culture, engage employees and manage performance.
