RESTON, Va., Dec. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore
(NASDAQ: SCOR) today announced that co-founder Dr. Magid Abraham has resigned from its board of
Directors.
Dr. Abraham is now heavily engaged in his capacity as Executive
Chairman of APX Labs, a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer,
that is dedicated to increasing manufacturing productivity by
delivering real time, task specific information to industrial
workers while preserving the full use of their hands, increasing
their skills, speed and work quality. His responsibilities, along
with his engagement with other growth and startup companies and his
continuing research and lecturing work at the Stanford Graduate
School of Business, limit his ability to continue to contribute to
the comScore board at the level to which he aspires.
"Magid's vision and innovative energy have helped comScore reach
its leading industry position. The company and its board are
grateful for his leadership over the years," said Bill Henderson, Chairman of comScore's board.
"He has led with passion for excellence, integrity, and continued
innovation, helping the company achieve its industry leading
position in media measurement. We wish him continued success in
building other industry-leading companies."
"I will always be proud of the 17 years I have spent at
comScore, and the great people that have helped build the company's
success. comScore is now poised for a new phase of growth measuring
the whole media landscape, and has all the talent, assets and
roadmap for continued success," said Dr. Abraham. "Personally, I am
tremendously excited at the opportunity to help change another
industry and the new intellectual challenges it represents. I am
thankful for the experience I have had at comScore and will
continue to be inspired by its accomplishments."
Gian Fulgoni, comScore's
co-founder and CEO, said: "I've spent the better part of 25 years
of my career building world-class information companies in
partnership with Magid and I have the greatest admiration
for his unique innovative skills and passion for excellence.
Magid has long been a prolific inventor of new analytical
applications in the information technology arena and I have no
doubt that he will bring the same creative genius to APX Labs that
he brought to comScore. We will miss him but I wish him every
success in this new chapter of his distinguished career."
