24 April Important Edge Announcement from Dick Abbott April 24, 2026 By Angela Chiaravalle General Edge Announcement, Dick Abbott Important Announcement from Dick Abbott Dear Edge Users, I’m writing to share an important update about The Edge After many years leading the business, I’ve made the decision to retire. This is a bittersweet moment for me, as serving you and the broader jewelry community has truly been a labor of love. Introducing Josh Brenner as CEO As part of this transition, I’m pleased to introduce Josh Brenner, who is joining as CEO to lead The Edge into its next chapter. Josh has a track record of leading and growing software businesses, including extensive experience building platforms for retailers like you. I am confident he will build on our customer-centric foundation and lead the company into its next phase of growth. Partnership with Serent Capital We have also partnered with Serent Capital, an investment firm focused on supporting software businesses, to help us build on the strong foundation we’ve created together. From the beginning, my priority has been to find the right partner – one whose values align with how we operate and how we serve our customers. I believe we’ve found that in Serent. Their role is to support the team, invest in the product, and help the business continue to grow in a thoughtful way. What does this mean for you? Most importantly, nothing changes in how you work with us today. The product, the team, and our commitment to supporting your business remain the same. Looking ahead This partnership allows us to: Increase the pace of innovation while keeping the things you rely on today Continue investing in the product to better serve your needs Build on the relationships and trust we’ve established over the years On a personal note... It has been a privilege to work with you. Thank you for your trust and partnership over the years.
