Marni M. Walden has served on our Board since April 2020. Ms. Walden is a seasoned technology, telecom, and media executive with more than 25 years of leadership experience driving innovation, operational excellence, and large-scale transformation across global organizations. Widely recognized as one of the most influential women in wireless and a trailblazer in the digital ecosystem, she has held senior operating roles at Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) ( Verizon ), served as an executive management member of the board for Verizon and now serves as a public and private company board director, strategic advisor, and investor. During her distinguished career at Verizon, Ms. Walden rose through a series of senior leadership positions, ultimately becoming one of the corporation s top five officers and its highest-ranking female executive. As Chief Marketing Officer of Verizon Wireless, Inc., she led all marketing initiatives and oversaw the development of groundbreaking mobile products and services. She later served as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Verizon Wireless, where she directed nationwide operations and delivered industry leading performance across consumer and enterprise segments. In 2015, Ms. Walden was appointed President of Global Media and New Business at Verizon. In this role, she guided the company s expansion into digital media, advertising technology, and connected mobility. She subsequently served as President and Executive Vice President of Global Media and Telematics, where she built new revenue streams, shaped strategy for Verizon Media, and led the Connected Vehicle business. Earlier, as President and Executive Vice President of Product Innovation, she oversaw global strategy, venture investments, and technology development across all Verizon business units. Throughout her tenure, Ms. Walden led several of Verizon s most significant acquisitions and integrations, including Yahoo, AOL, Fleetmatics, Telogis, Alltel, and RCC. Her leadership earned her numerous accolades, including recognition as one of the Most Powerful Women in Wireless, a place on Fortune s Most Powerful Women list, and Working Mother of the Year. Since retiring from Verizon in 2018, Ms. Walden has transitioned her expertise to the boardroom and strategic advisory roles. Her additional board experience spans both public and private companies, including Airlinq (formerly Globetouch), Persado, DeepSig, and prior service on the boards of Alphabets Loon, ironSource, and 4C Insights. Ms. Walden also advises leading global investment firms including New Mountain Capital, EQT, and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) as well as a portfolio of technology and data driven companies such as Transformco. Her early career included leadership roles at AT&T (NYSE: T), McCaw Communications, and General Cellular Corporation, where she built foundational expertise in wireless operations and customer experience. Ms. Walden attended California State University, Chico, where she majored in English and minored in Communications. We believe Ms. Walden is qualified to serve on our Board due, among other things, to her over 20 years of experience in telecommunications, technology and media, including her leadership roles at Verizon, where she gained extensive experience managing multi-billion dollar lines of business and leading transformative M&A activities and digital transformations, as well as her service as a member of the board of directors of numerous public and private companies.
