After more than two decades filled with energy, passion, and responsibility, I have decided to take a conscious break and spend more time with my family. At the same time, I am leaving Exasol with a great sense of confidence: the Company is exceptionally well-positioned, has a strong team, and a clear strategic direction. I am convinced that Exasol has a very promising future and look forward to following its continued success as a shareholder.”
