Mr. Davis first joined the Board of Directors in 2011, and at various times has served as Chair of the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee, and most recently as the Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Nomination Committee.

Peter Dolan, Chairman of Allied Minds, commented: "On behalf of the Board and employees of Allied Minds, I wish to thank Rick for his important leadership and contributions during his seven years of service to the Company.  We have greatly appreciated his dedication, experience, wealth of knowledge and insights he brought to Board deliberations.  Rick's experience, network and vision made him uniquely qualified to help set the strategy for the development of the federal laboratory partner network, which resulted in the formation of Federated Wireless, HawkEye 360 and BridgeSat."
