Chief Financial Officer Transition

SharpSpring's Controller Aaron Jackson will serve in the interim CFO role and will continue to operate in that capacity until a new CFO has been appointed. Jackson has been with SharpSpring since 2017. Power will remain employed by the Company and support the transition through August 14^th at a minimum.

With support from the Board of Directors and other members of the management team, SharpSpring has initiated a search process with a nationally recognized executive search firm for a new CFO to execute on the Company's long-term growth plans.
