We believe Kate and Tracey’s expertise will be extremely valuable as we continue to scale our business and build value for shareholders,” said Robert McDonald, Chair of Quotient. “They both have impressive track records of driving organic and inorganic growth in the technology industry, designing product-specific go-to-market strategies and delivering value to customers and shareholders. We look forward to benefitting from their insights as we build on the momentum underway to achieve our financial goals.”
Mr. McDonald continued, “On behalf of the entire Board, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Allison, David, Eric, Jody and Lorraine for their service to Quotient. We appreciate their many contributions and wish them all the best.”
