SupportSave is at this moment implementing significant cost-cutting measures focused on profitability within the next two quarters, including reducing the salary of its top executives as well as reducing other cash and non-cash expenses. Aina Dumlao, the company's co-founder, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Johns, the company's founder, is now occupying the post of President. Part of the cost-cutting measures included Johns voluntarily reducing his salary to $48,000 per year. Some of the money saved will be re-invested in an across-the-board salary increase for all of the company's 300+ employees. "Investing in our people will reward those who deserve it most, while helping us improve our ability to attract and retain the talent we need to drive growth," states Dumlao.
