He is currently executive director of products at Workday.

“Mike brings valuable product development experience to us from Workday, where he is responsible for scaling massive engineering teams to build powerful, reliable, and market-leading products that empower enterprises to solve complex problems,” said Mikkel Svane, CEO, founder & chairman, Zendesk. “His experience will round out the diversely talented board we already have, as we continue to chart a very exciting future for Zendesk.”

Prior to joining Workday in 2010, Frandsen was CEO at Potenco, a green energy startup.

“Zendesk’s vision for the future of customer relationships truly excites me,” said Frandsen. “The time is ripe for a tectonic shift in how enterprises will use technology to build better relationships with their customers -- and Zendesk is in the middle of it. I am thrilled to be a part of this journey.”
