We, the founders, are aware of our limited capabilities after 12 years of charting the course and know it is time to set the stage for more advanced directors in this season; allowing the founders to refocus our efforts in scaling the overall group. I am confident that the new directors will ensure a more relevant and focused trajectory of our strategic direction, operations and business effectiveness. As an additional assurance, we are still, at the core, highly invested in people, excellent in our MarTech solutions and future-proof in our mindset.”
As of today, the new board of directors’ immediate initiative is to strengthen internal leadership development and optimize organizational structures to enhance efficiency. Additionally, they plan to amplify the company’s reach and value through strategic initiatives such as investing in innovation, research and development, and empowering specialized teams like SPRINT, UI/UX, tech and digital advisory.
