“We are very excited to welcome Nancy to our board,” stated VERB Chairman and CEO Rory J. Cutaia. “Nancy was part of Steve Job’s inner circle that took Apple from a troubled enterprise, to one of the most successful and valuable companies in the world, and the iconic brand we all respect today. Her experience, perspective, insights and resources will be enormously beneficial to our board of directors and management team, and I look forward to working closely with her to unlock the value we all believe VERB represents for ourselves and our stockholders. With the addition of Nancy, as well as Judith Hammerschmidt whom we announced earlier this week, I couldn’t possibly more excited for VERB and our stockholders in 2020 and beyond.”

This company represents the unique combination of an extremely capable, talented, and dedicated management team and a highly unique disruptive technology.
