TORONTO, May 30, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX), (TSX: TC) is pleased
to announce that Lee Matheson and
Gigi Sohn will be standing for
election to the Board of Directors. Brad
Burnham, co-founder of Union Square Ventures, has decided
not to seek reelection. Tucows extends its gratitude to Mr. Burnham
for his help, mentorship and dedicated service as a Board member
over the past six years.
With an impressive track record in the financial industry,
Lee Matheson brings substantial,
relevant expertise to the Board nomination. Matheson is a Partner
at Edgepoint Wealth Management, one of Tucows' largest
shareholders, and has been closely engaged with Tucows as an
investor. He is a CFA charterholder with demonstrated business
analysis skills and a deep understanding of the technology sector.
Matheson's extensive capital market experience and business acumen
will make him a valued addition to the Tucows Board of
Directors.
Gigi Sohn, a renowned lawyer and
consumer advocate, is widely recognized for her contributions to
telecommunications, media, and technology law and policy. With her
vast experience in the legal field, work as counselor to the FCC
Chair from 2013 to 2016, and leadership of telecom and technology
policy organizations, she has been instrumental in shaping policies
that promote innovation, digital rights, and a free and open
Internet. Her deep knowledge and experience as a consumer advocate
led President Biden to nominate her for a seat on the FCC in 2021.
Sohn's profound knowledge and unwavering commitment to
consumer-oriented telecom policy make her an ideal candidate for
the Tucows Board of Directors.
Tucows expresses its sincere appreciation to Brad Burnham for his invaluable contributions
during his tenure on the Board of Directors. Burnham's extensive
experience as a technology executive has been instrumental in
helping guide Tucows through significant business milestones.
"We are thrilled to have both Lee
Matheson and Gigi Sohn as
candidates for our Board of Directors," said Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows. "Their diverse
backgrounds and expertise align perfectly with our company's vision
and commitment to customer experience and capital allocation. We
would also like to express our gratitude to Brad Burnham for his remarkable leadership and
dedicated service over the last six years."
The election for the Tucows Board of Directors will take place
during the upcoming annual general meeting, scheduled for
September 7, 2023. Shareholders are
encouraged to review the candidates' biographies in the upcoming
Proxy, and vote in accordance with their investment objectives and
