Extreme Networks Announces CFO Transition

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud networking, today announced that its CFO, Rémi Thomas, has accepted a position at a privately held software company and will resign from his position at Extreme. Thomas will remain with Extreme until February 16, 2023.

Extreme has initiated a search for a CFO with the assistance of a leading executive search firm. Senior Vice President and head of Financial Planning & Analysis, Cristina Tate, will take over as interim CFO.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in economics and mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

"I want to personally thank Rémi for his leadership at Extreme and helping oversee major milestones such as our acquisition and integration of both Aerohive Networks and Ipanema. He played a key role in our cloud transformation and helped successfully steer Extreme through a global pandemic and unprecedented supply chain challenges. We are forecasting accelerated growth over the next several years that will produce significant operating leverage that we are primed to take advantage of," stated Ed Meyercord, President and CEO.

"Cristina is a highly respected leader in our finance organization who is deeply involved in running our business day-to-day and executing our long-term strategy," continued Meyercord. "This is a great opportunity for her to step in and provide a seamless transition as we enter this exciting new phase of accelerated growth," he concluded.

CFO Rémi Thomas noted: "I am proud to have been part of the Extreme team that executed a growth strategy to cloudify our portfolio, took share, improved productivity and delivered structurally higher profitability and cash flow. Extreme is in a great position to achieve its long-term financial goals."
