Since our successful initial public offering in 2011, he has also been heavily involved in our investor relations program."

Anderman added, "Going forward, Jonathan and Ed Luce, our chief financial officer, will handle the day-to-day management of Ellie Mae. This, in turn, will allow me to focus my time and energies more fully on our long-term growth strategy, new corporate and client initiatives, and potential acquisitions."
