Effective August 8, 2019, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Tenable Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Linda Zecher to serve as a director of the Company. Ms. Zecher will serve as a class I director whose term will expire at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, and she will serve as a member of the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees of the Board.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Zecher and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director of the Company, and there is no family relationship between Ms. Zecher and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. The Company is not aware of any transaction involving Ms. Zecher requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Additional information about Ms. Zecher is set forth below:
Linda Zecher, age 66, is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of the Barkley Group, a consulting firm focused on effective digital transformation, positions she has held since January 2017.
