The Cinnabar management team has made tremendous progress in bringing together unique capabilities that will differentiate our efforts from those that have done so much to advance the industry to this point.

"Cinnabar's strategy of building vertically integrated cloud-based computing capabilities is compelling. When this strategy is combined with their focus markets, which highlight the family and youth internet market along with safe, secure business computing services, I strongly believe Cinnabar will offer a unique approach to the sector," adds Lisa. "I look forward to capitalizing on the many opportunities that lie ahead."
