Why the changes in our board of directors?
Yoast has grown rapidly over the last 10 years. Today, more than 120 people work for Yoast. We’ve hired people from all over the world to work with us. We had to say goodbye to one of our former directors. A lot has changed. Those changes ask for directors with strong leadership and management skills. We’re really lucky to have found those people.
