Lucidworks Welcomes Diane Honda and Adam Famularo to Board of Directors

Between the amazing work we’ve been doing with our customers and our recent announcement of our brand new SaaS platform, Springboard, Lucidworks is at a critical moment of transformation.

In continuing to make strides toward our vision and transformation into the cloud-based SaaS world, we are so happy to welcome Diane Honda (Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel, and Secretary at Barracuda Networks) and Adam Famularo (CEO of WorkFusion) to our board of directors.
