Mr. Hartman brings over 25 years of experience in enterprise software and marketing at major technology companies. Mr. Hartman previously served as the vice present of global marketing at Kenshoo, a digital advertising platform that connects marketers and customers, where he instituted marketing programs that increased topline growth, reduced marketing spend and grew the bottom line. He served as vice president of product marketing at Acxiom (now LiveRamp Holdings), a SaaS-based data connectivity platform, where he co-led product positioning and awareness of the LiveRamp acquisition, a data connectivity platform acquired by Acxiom. He served as vice president of marketing at Viglink (now Sovrn) and at The Rubicon Project

He held several senior level product and marketing roles at Yahoo! and IBM. At Yahoo!, he managed a product management team that successfully launched and grew the company’s display advertising platform. At IBM, he developed and executed multi-touch marketing campaigns for Tivoli’s line of J2EE-based solutions that generated $285 million in annual revenue.

An accomplished MarTech innovator, Hartman is named on several technology patents covering programmatic advertising, private exchange, and inventory ad tagging innovations. Mr. Hartman earned his B.S. with Honors in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University.

In connection with Mr. Hartman’s appointment to the role of Chief Product Officer, Mr. Hartman and the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”).

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Hartman and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Hartman was appointed as an executive officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Hartman and any of the Company’s directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report, including statements regarding the business strategy, and related plans are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the Company’s future performance and the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report are only predictions. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, operating results, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The events and circumstances reflected in such forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all risks and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
