Our continuing directors bring diverse and deep experience in technology, information services, corporate finance, M&A and human resources.”
Mr. Snyder added, “We thank Bala, Kosty and Roxane for their service and many contributions to the Company. They have been valued leaders and advisors as the Company entered the public markets and completed large acquisitions that tripled Clarivate’s size and transformed the Company into a global leader in data, information and workflow solutions.”
