“John Connors has served on the Company’s Board since 2007 -- an incredible achievement for any board member in Silicon Valley,” said Doug Merritt, President and CEO of the Company. “His contributions to our Board have helped guide the Company from a scrappy data startup to the world’s first Data-to-Everything Platform, always focusing on our customer’s success. We are forever grateful for John’s outstanding leadership and we wish him the very best in his retirement. Thank you, John.”
