On behalf of the Board, we thank John for his dedicated service to Domo since joining the company in 2019 and especially over the last year. We wish him the very best as he embarks on new endeavors."

Clark continued, "As Domo's founder, we are pleased to welcome Josh back at the helm as CEO. Josh brings a true entrepreneurial spirit to the company and we are confident that under his leadership, Domo is in very capable hands. We are also delighted to have Dan Strong and Renée Soto, two recognized leaders in finance and strategic communications, respectively, join the Board. Their insights, knowledge and perspectives will be valuable to Domo as we support leadership in its commitment to delivering for our shareholders and customers through innovation, execution and transformation in 2023 and beyond."

John Mellor said, "It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of the Domo team for nearly four years and to lead as CEO for the past year. Domo has a highly engaged, talented team that operates with incredible commitment and integrity. The team's dedication to our customers is among the many reasons that I am confident Domo will continue to be a market disruptor as we bring innovative solutions to customers."

Josh James, Domo Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am encouraged and invigorated to lead Domo as CEO once again and take our company to the next level. Over the past year, John and the team have delivered substantial customer value and John has structured the management team in a way with which I'm very pleased. Thanks to his hard work and stewardship, Domo has a sizeable and healthy pipeline with strong demand for our products and services continuing into 2023. I join my fellow directors in wishing him all the best."

Domo also announced today that David Jolley has been named Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Bruce Felt, who previously announced his departure from Domo after eight years of service to the company. Felt will support Jolley during the initial onboarding process and will be available to the company in an advisory role, as needed.

James continued, "I'd like to thank Bruce Felt for his service. I welcome David to the Domo team and look forward to his insights as we work to realize our long-term potential and create value for shareholders and all stakeholders. David is a first-rate financial executive with a real passion for supporting innovation, as well as experience working with fast-growth companies looking to make a difference. I am confident that with a refreshed Board and a dynamic leadership team in place, we can embark on an exciting new chapter at Domo."

In addition, Jeff Skousen has been named Chief Revenue Officer, succeeding Ian Tickle. "As before, it was important to me to have the CRO role here in the states. We are thankful for the many contributions Ian brought to the company, including his operational rigor and the mentorship he provided to many sales leaders. That said, Jeff is more than ready to assume this position and has been one of the most consistent managers at delivering targets; he has delivered well over half the company's ARR. He's energetic, well-liked, and a fighter who does what it takes to hit his number."

James added, "I am extremely excited about these new additions to our management team and the internal alignment created over the last year between sales, client services, marketing and product to help our teams better attract and serve customers. Combined with the customer value we are delivering, we have formidable momentum to execute in the year ahead."
