SAN ANTONIO, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE American: GSB), announced today, with deep sadness, the unexpected death of its President and CEO, Matthew C. Goulet.  

"The GlobalSCAPE team is greatly saddened by Matt's passing," said Robert Alpert, Chairman of GlobalSCAPE's Board of Directors and Interim CEO. "Matt was an extraordinary person and a dynamic leader. He made vast contributions to our business. Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt's family and loved ones."

Alpert continued, "During his tenure as CEO, Matt built an experienced and talented leadership team to run the daily GlobalSCAPE operations. Because of Matt's foresight and vision, GlobalSCAPE is proud to draw from its deep bench and announce the internal promotions of Michael P. Canavan and David C. Mello to Executive Vice Presidents at the Company. Mike will continue to oversee Sales and Marketing, while Dave will continue to manage Technical Services and Engineering. The GlobalSCAPE team will continue to provide outstanding service to its customers and stakeholders."

Alpert concluded, "Matt was a dear friend to us all—we will greatly miss him. We are forever grateful for his contributions to the Company and all of its stakeholders. Matt leaves GlobalSCAPE in the best position since the Company's founding over two decades ago, with palpable momentum across the business. While preliminary and unaudited, we expect Q1 2019 financial results to exhibit strong double-digit year over year revenue growth, alongside a continued focus on operating profitability. The Company ended the first quarter with a fortress balance sheet, with over $14 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. The GlobalSCAPE family intends to honor Matt's legacy by continuing to execute upon the strategic vision laid out by Matt during his tenure as President and CEO."
