Ringing the closing bell for the Nasdaq stock exchange is a privilege enjoyed by less than 4,000 of the world’s companies. Last week, Research Solutions had the honor of doing just that.
As I rang the bell along with our CEO and president Roy Olivier, I reflected on the significance of the event. This milestone was achieved through a long-term collaboration between our customers, team, shareholders and suppliers. A lot of brains and hard work went into this company–which began 16 years ago as a small business project–and it seems to be working out very well.
Our Customers: We wanted to create a platform that could grow with our customers (e.g. biotech firms, pharma companies, academic institutions) and with all research-based organizations. Being a Nasdaq listed company provides a springboard for that platform, and will enable us to grow better and faster, and to deliver even better solutions to our customers.
Our Team: An important part of our company mission has always been to bring together the best employees in the world. Today, our talented global team delivers world-class solutions and services for our customers. The best team deserves the best home. For us, that home is Nasdaq.
Our Shareholders and Suppliers: Building trust with our investors is critical. As a Nasdaq company, our investors know we are adhering to rigorous standards and being transparent in our reporting. In turn, our vendors also benefit from having a growing, solid, and transparent customer in us.
Onward and upward!
