On January 5, 2021, Michael Christenson, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, resigned from his position as President effective immediately and as Chief Operating Officer effective as of March 31, 2021.

William Staples, age 48, has served as Chief Product Officer of the Company since February 2020. From September 2017 to January 2020, Mr. Staples served as the Vice President of Experience Cloud Engineering at Adobe Inc., where he led the global engineering team behind Adobe Inc.'s market-leading Experience Cloud. From 1999 to March 2016, Mr. Staples served in various product, design and engineering roles at Microsoft, Inc., most recently as Vice President of Azure Application Platform.
