Mr. Shah is the Chief Digital Transformation Officer at ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), an IT service management and workflow automation company. He is also the founder and principal member of Gnosis Advisory Group, a business leadership advisory firm.

He has also served as a Director of Gibraltar Industries (NASDAQ: ROCK) since February 2021. Mr. Shah earned a Master of Science in Management Information Systems from Roosevelt University and an MBA from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Mr. Singhi is the Chief Financial Officer of Humanetics, a high-tech global industrial technology group focusing on safety, digital and sensor solutions for critical environments. From 2017 to 2020, Mr. Singhi was the Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Piston Group, with responsibility for all operating and financial matters.

Mr. Singhi began his career in 1994 at Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F). Mr. Singhi earned a Master of Science in Engineering and an MBA from the University of Michigan.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Shah or Mr. Singhi and any other person pursuant to which Messrs. Shah and Singhi were selected as directors. Since November 1, 2022, neither Mr. Shah nor Mr. Singhi have had any direct or indirect interest in any transaction or series of similar transactions contemplated by the language of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In conjunction with their elections, the Board has appointed Messrs.
