Hewlett-Packard Co. Chief Executive Meg Whitman has joined the board of SurveyMonkey Inc., a maker of online survey tools.

The board appointment is a reunion of sorts between Ms. Whitman and SurveyMonkey CEO Bill Veghte, who was, until July, head of Hewlett-Packard's enterprise business group and one of the top strategists behind H-P's break up.

Founded in 1999, SurveyMonkey had been run by David Goldberg, a beloved Silicon Valley personality, who died in May.

Since then, the company has taken steps to strengthen its leadership. Mr. Veghte started as CEO in early August. Recent board appointments include Facebook Inc.'s operating chief Sheryl Sandberg, who is Mr. Goldberg's widow, and David Ebersman, formerly Facebook's Chief Financial Officer.

In addition to its free online survey service, Survey Monkey sells a variety of customizable survey services priced between $19 and $65 a month.
