Published on : Jan 5, 2024
Sprinklr, the unified customer experience management (Unified-CXM) platform for modern enterprises, today announced the appointment of Trac Pham as interim Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr. Pham will report directly to Sprinklr Founder and CEO Ragy Thomas and join the Executive Leadership Team to help drive cross-functional alignment on all business operations and planning decisions.
Mr. Pham retired as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Synopsys in 2022. At Synopsys, he was responsible for Finance, Strategy and Corporate Business Development, and Information Technology. During his tenure as CFO, Trac helped scale Synopsys from $2.0B to $5.1B in revenue and was the strategic and operating partner to the co-CEO/Founder and co-CEO/President. Mr. Pham joined Sprinklr’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee in June 2023. Mr. Pham will continue as a member of Sprinklr’s Board but will not serve on any independent committees of the Board, including the Audit Committee, during his term as interim COO.
“As Sprinklr continues on our growth and scale journey, we must have world-class operational processes to support and enable our teams,” said Sprinklr Founder and CEO, Ragy Thomas. “Trac has been an invaluable and active member of our board, providing thoughtful counsel on our direction and alignment. He is a strategic thinker and communicates with clarity about goals and desired outcomes. We share strong convictions about our long-term unified-CXM vision and believe Sprinklr can become the most-loved enterprise software company. I am excited and humbled to work in partnership with Trac and have him join our executive team.”
“Sprinklr has a compelling strategy and vision and has navigated through significant transitions from its roots in social media, the evolution across digital platforms, to being the only unified-CXM platform,” said Mr. Pham. “I am excited by that vision and what it has achieved, the customers it serves, and the size of this market opportunity. I look forward to contributing to Sprinklr’s growth and scale opportunity with an immediate focus on operational strategy.” In addition to his focus on operations, Mr. Pham will play a critical role in helping Sprinklr to recruit a permanent President and Chief Operating Officer.
Sprinklr also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $100 million of shares of its Class A common stock through open market purchases in a manner deemed to be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders, considering the economic cost and prevailing market conditions, including the relative trading prices and volumes of the Class A shares. This stock repurchase program reflects the strength of Sprinklr’s balance sheet and cash flow generation and provides flexibility to continue investing in key strategic initiatives while also enhancing stockholder value through capital returns. The repurchases are expected to be effected pursuant to a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock repurchase program is expected to be completed within the calendar year 2024.
Sprinklr also reaffirms its financial guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and the full year fiscal 2024, as provided in a press release issued on December 6, 2023.
