As cybersecurity threats become increasingly sophisticated, building upon our AI capabilities will be crucial in staying ahead of bad actors and continuing to provide you with the most effective human risk management platform available. In this evolution of our leadership structure, I'm delighted that Bryan Palma will be stepping into the role of KnowBe4’s President and CEO.

I have complete confidence in Bryan's leadership abilities and cybersecurity industry expertise. His deep understanding of our business, technology, and most importantly, your needs as our customers, makes him exceptionally qualified to lead KnowBe4 into our next chapter of growth and innovation.
