Thank you for posting your company review. You are clearly very passionate about WebAssign and the education industry. I would like to provide some counter points to your statements. Our founder, John Risley, was definitely a visionary and a passionate educator. He saw a need in the market and created a product to address that need. He also readily admitted that he did not have the business experience to progress the company from a small mom-and-pop to a legitimate company able to support, scale, and carry forward his vision in an evolving market. In 2012, he selected Alex Bloom, our current president, to lead the company because of his prior business experience and leadership ability. With the exception of the CTO and CAO positions, our executive team is the same executive team that John chose to lead and manage the company. WebAssign continues to grow, and has been nominated and received an award two years in a row for the Triangle Business Journal's Fast 50, which recognizes the top 50 fastest growing companies in the Triangle. More significantly, the positive feedback from our faculty and content partners on recent product enhancements reinforces our strategic plan. Our challenge as we move forward is to build on the success that we have experienced with the WebAssign product and create complementary products in the education market. This is an exciting time for WebAssign, and I embrace that challenge and look forward to our future. We have an open-door policy at WebAssign, and all of the executives and leadership team would welcome the chance to talk with you about your ideas for future growth and product leadership.
Ellen Grantham, VP, Finance and Administration
