to see Keith leave us and excited for him on the launch of his new
venture. More than anyone, I understand the drive to start a new
venture and create a new business. We will remain close to Keith,
continue to benefit from his vast reservoir of knowledge and in turn
be prepared to support him in his new adventure. I have worked closely
with Jean and Davis in the last couple of years and look forward to
continue building our company together."
