For 25 years, Ms. Bryant has run high profile organizations, navigating complex internal and external dynamics while driving business growth and operational excellence. Ms. Bryant was at the helm of women's professional basketball for 18 years - serving as General Manager of the Seattle Reign and then, ultimately as President & CEO of the Seattle Storm from 2008 through 2014. Under her leadership, the Seattle Storm won two WNBA Championships, set multiple attendance and revenue records, and established itself as one of the WNBA's premier franchises. In 2014, Ms. Bryant started and led a management consulting firm until one of her clients, Atavus Sports, offered her the role of CEO in 2016. With Atavus, Ms. Bryant led a three-year process of market research, competitive analysis, customer discovery, product development, and sales. In Fall 2019, Atavus was acquired by a private equity firm in a successful exit. After a successful 13-year run as CEO for two organizations, Ms. Bryant returned to her management consulting firm in March 2020. Ms. Bryant also serves as an Executive Coach to business leaders and entrepreneurs and is well-recognized for leading high performing teams. Ms. Bryant's recognition includes Seattle Sports Commission Executive of the Year, Sports Business Journal Gamechanger, Puget Sound Business Journal Woman of Influence, Greater Seattle Business Association Businessperson of the Year Finalist, and Girl Scouts of Western Washington Woman of Distinction. Ms. Bryant was a scholarship athlete at Seattle University and University of Washington where she graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication.

Ms. Bryant was not appointed as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person, and is not a participant in any related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Effective as of June 8, 2021, Ms. Bryant will serve as a member of the Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the 'Nominating Committee'). Concurrently with Ms. Bryant's appointment as a member of the Nominating Committee, Mr. Larry Swets resigned as a member of the Nominating Committee. Mr. Swets' resignation from the Nominating Committee was not due to any disagreement with the Nominating Committee on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.
