In that context, I am pleased to be welcoming Carey into his new role, while also thanking his predecessor John Connolly for his significant contributions. Since 2016, John has worked tirelessly to improve our Company. He has succeeded at that task. We owe many of our best practices and successful initiatives to his leadership and the terrific team he has built. We are very thankful for John’s service to the Company.”

Gliklich added, “Carey has been a strong contributor in many roles since joining in 2015. He has helped drive productive change and been a close partner to me and the rest of the executive leadership team over that time. Carey brings high-quality experience, institutional knowledge and an exciting forward vision to the CFO role. With the capable and experienced team behind him, I am confident that Carey will drive strong execution. We are looking forward to introducing you to Carey in this new capacity and our broader leadership team at our investor day on May 20.”
