 our board of directors since July 2025. From 2021 to 2024, Mr. Selipsky served as the Chief Executive Officer of Amazon Web Services, and from 2016 to 2021, he served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Tableau Software, leading Tableau Software through its acquisition by Salesforce. Mr. Selipsky previously held other key leadership positions with Amazon Web Services, including as Vice President, Marketing, Sales, and Support from 2005 to 2016. Earlier in his career, Mr. Selipsky held other key leadership positions at RealNetworks, an early pioneer in internet streaming media, and as a Principal at Mercer Management Consulting. Mr. Selipsky has also served on the board of directors of Amazon Web Services and Tableau Software. Mr. Selipsky holds an A.B. from Harvard University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. We believe that Mr. Selipsky’s extensive experience as a Chief Executive Officer, President, and board member at leading technology companies makes him a valuable member of our board of directors.

Relationships

There are no familial relationships between any of our executive officers and directors.

Director independence

Our board of directors consists of nine members. Our board has determined that each of Craig Broderick, M. Michele Burns, Rajeev Date, Bradley Horowitz, P. Sean Neville, David Orfao, Danita Ostling, and Adam Selipsky—being all directors other than Jeremy Allaire, our chief executive officer—is independent under NYSE listing standards. As Jeremy Allaire, our chief executive officer, serves as the chairman of our board of directors, the board of directors has appointed Rajeev Date as the lead independent director. The lead independent director, among other responsibilities, presides over executive sessions of non-employee directors and independent directors, liaises and facilitates communications between the independent directors and the chairman and chief executive officer and management, and leads the independent directors to assess the performance of the chairman.

Board composition

Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I directors (being Jeremy Allaire, Craig Broderick, and P. Sean Neville), Class II directors (being M. Michele Burns, Rajeev Date, and Danita Ostling), and Class III directors (being Bradley Horowitz, David Orfao, and Adam Selipsky) will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2026, 2027, and
