In their words — Verdane

Verbatim from named people across Verdane's signals — every line linked to its original source.

This transition is a natural evolution for a business that's ready to scale, and we're confident that Lisa is exactly the right person to lead that next phase. Her track record of growing technology businesses across international markets speaks for itself and we're excited about what this team is going to achieve together. Corlytics has always been a flagship investment for us, and a big part of that is down to John. What he's built at Corlytics is something we're incredibly proud to have supported.
