    Question

    Konrad Zomer of ABN AMRO - ODDO BHF asked for details on the types of roles filled during the recent hiring push and questioned why personnel growth shouldn't be expected to keep pace with the company's historically high revenue growth.

    Answer

    CEO Nancy McKinstry explained that the hiring was concentrated in technology, sales, and product management to fill a backlog of open positions from 2022. She noted that while some personnel growth will occur, it will not be directly correlated with revenue growth due to increasing productivity from technology, scale effects, and platform reuse, which allows the company to get more value from its R&D investments over time.
