We are confident that our product will be a market leader, driving innovation across the industry. Our continued growth is a testament to Rob’s leadership and the talented team the company has assembled.”

Mr. Holder has served as the company’s Controller since 2013, joining from the Arizona Commerce Authority where he was Chief Financial Officer.
