I am pleased that I was able to help shape this development over many years”, says Aaron Auld, adding: “The time has come for a new phase in my life in which I focus on my family, and to place the future path of Exasol in the hands of a new leadership. I will remain closely connected to the company and the team in the future and wish them all the best for the promising path ahead.”
