Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 30, 2021, Bandwidth’s Chief Executive Officer, David Morken, sent the following announcement to all Bandmates:
Subject: Noreen Allen -- Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Bandmates,
After almost 10 years as our Chief Marketing Officer, Noreen Allen is stepping down to start a new chapter. She will stay through Jan. 14 to help with the search for her successor.
Noreen shared with me that her decision came down to family. Many of you know Noreen comes from a big family, and she is moving back to her hometown outside of Philadelphia to be close to them. She’s had a great 20-year run in the Raleigh tech community.
Noreen has been a steadfast partner to me in many key stages of Bandwidth’s growth. She built our revenue marketing and lead generation engine, and she was instrumental in defining our brand and positioning as a CPaaS provider in the lead-up to our IPO. Just as importantly, Noreen helped elevate Bandwidth in the Triangle community by representing us in her many board memberships and support for great causes.
She leaves us with a strong global Marketing team, with fresh talent and a new strategy and org structure that sets us up to win in 2022 and beyond.
A big part of who we are today is due to Noreen’s ideas and leadership. Please be sure to reach out to her and wish her well.
Thank you Noreen, you will be missed!
David
