It has been an incredible run and I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished. John and I have decided that the time is right—riding the high-note of everything we've accomplished in the last decade—to pass the baton. ObservePoint is uniquely positioned to continue as the leader in data collection validation and I have every confidence that John will guide the company through the next stage."
