Vertex CEO Celebrates Gold-Medal Teamwork on IPO Anniversary

Future Ready: Tax Optimization in the SAP Ecosystem

Olympics fans and viewers are not the only ones coming together to celebrate their best and brightest this month.

I recently shared my passion for Olympic competition with Vertex employees. I especially appreciate watching individual athletes hone their skills through practice, breakthroughs and overcoming unexpected adversity as part of a united team competing for their country.

In a recent communication marking Vertex’s IPO anniversary, I thanked employees for their hard work, collaboration and innovation. Their commitment and creativity enabled Vertex to introduce new products and reach new heights as a public company amid a year of unprecedented changes and challenges triggered by COVID-19. I’d like to express similar gratitude to Vertex investors, partners, customers and communities while underscoring the company’s dedication to operating as “an indispensable part of global commerce.”

Happy (public) birthday, Vertex!
