experience will allow him to more quickly put into place the tools and processes
that`ll enable our technology organization to grow and build upon their
successes in delivering against our objectives, while maintaining innovation and
drive. Creating and delivering new innovations from our technology stack is
mission critical, and I`m confident Dave will successfully execute on that
strategy as a key leader in the company."
