Former Okta executive joins Amplitude
leadership team as the company enters its next stage of growth
Amplitude, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPL), a leading digital analytics
platform, today announced the appointment of Kristina “KJ” Johnson
as Chief Human Resources Officer. With a track record for building
people-first cultures at fast-growing organizations, Johnson will
lead Amplitude’s People and Workplace function—including talent
acquisition and development, diversity, equity & inclusion
(DE&I), total rewards, employee engagement, and more. She will
also join Amplitude’s executive leadership team and report to
Spenser Skates, Co-founder and CEO of Amplitude.
“The People function is incredibly important to building a great
organization, and KJ has the experience and leadership we need to
be successful in our next phase of growth,” said Skates. “KJ
innately lives our cultural values, has seen the level of scale
we’re growing to, and has a strong perspective on how to build
high-performing teams. KJ is a phenomenal leader, and I’m excited
to work alongside her.”
With more than 20 years of experience, Johnson has led People
teams at both startups and global enterprises. She spent the last
seven years at Okta, where she helped scale its team from 500 to
nearly 6,000 employees while retaining a headcount growth rate of
30% year-over-year. In this role, Johnson also seamlessly
integrated culture and people processes through several
acquisitions. Before Okta, Johnson led human resources for EnerNOC,
a leading energy management software provider. She received a
Professional Human Resources (PHR) Certification and holds an MBA
in Human Resource Management from California State University.
“I am so impressed with Amplitude’s product. It is a must-have
for every business, and the market opportunity is huge,” said
Johnson. “But the thing I care most about is its people. Amplitude
is an organization that has put its values and team first, and
that’s evident in the way people show up to work every day.
Everyone I’ve talked to is humble, savvy, and a problem-solver. I
look forward to partnering with Spenser and the team to keep
scaling the company in 2023 and beyond.”
Johnson will join Amplitude as demand grows for the self-service

insights, and faster action. Amplitude was recently named a Strong
Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Digital Intelligence Platforms,
