Thank you, Nandan. I am excited to join Everbridge as Chief Executive Officer at this important moment in the company's evolution. Everbridge is a pioneer and is the clear industry leader in critical event management and public warning. Everbridge offers powerful solutions for positive change with the ability to keep people safe and businesses running smoothly. We have opportunities ahead of us in both the near and long term to grow this business, improve our efficiencies, and create shareholder value. I would like to take a quick moment to introduce myself. I have been working at B2B software companies for nearly 30 years, and I have been fortunate to be on teams that have created more than $2 billion in shareholder value. I have been part of an IPO, a go-private, and two sales, two strategic buyers. Most recently, as CEO of VIX, we grew revenue, EBITDA, and enterprise value each by more than 400% over less than six years. This growth was both organic and inorganic. We completed and integrated seven acquisitions successfully. In short, the teams I've led have created value in a range of ways, and I look forward to creating value with the team at Everbridge. In the near term, the team and I continue to focus on executing four strategic priorities. First, we are simplifying our product offerings and our go-to-market channels to improve sales productivity and drive organic growth. Second, We are focused on extending our global leadership in public safety systems with our industry-leading platform to enable our proven network effect. Third, we are working on strategic product integrations, making it easier for customers to adopt new solutions while extending the differentiation of our platform. And finally, we are increasing overall efficiencies and increasing profitability across the company. Everything the leadership team and I are doing is focused on improving momentum, creating value for our customers, increasing profitability, and increasing shareholder value. As Vernon and Patrick will share, the team is demonstrating progress on each of our focus areas. Our second quarter results are an affirmation that our strategy is working and that our execution is improving. As I am quickly coming up to speed, I am impressed with the level of commitment our team members have to both our mission and to our customers. Enterprises and governments are increasingly focused on resilience, and as a result, our customers are relying on our solutions more than ever. I look forward to partnering with Patrick Vernon and the entire Everbridge team to build on our commitment to growth, improving profitability, and increasing shareholder value. I will now turn the call over to Vernon to review our business highlights.
