Rebecca Jacoby Joins Quantum's Board Of Directors

Quantum has announced that Rebecca Jacoby has joined the company’s Board of Directors.

She will serve on the Board's Audit Committee and Leadership and Compensation Committee.

Jacoby joins Quantum's board as the company expands its product portfolio in the high-speed processing and management of video and video-like data, and the long-term, low-cost archive of unstructured data. The addition of Jacoby to the board underscores Quantum’s drive for operational excellence.

"With the company now restored to responsible and accountable governance, and with continued significant shareholder representation on the Board, Quantum is turning its focus to growth," said Jamie Lerner, President and CEO of Quantum.

Rebecca brings greater diversity to our Board, and a technical depth that will be valued."
