In the blog post, Small wrote:
According to his LinkedIn profile, Small is a board member of Oclaro, a provider of optical components, modules, and subsystems for data centers and transport, enterprise, and metro networks. Prior to that, he served as a member of the supervisory board of Telefónica’s Alpha unit.
Previously, he was the board chairman at TokBox, a subsidiary of Telefónica that provides a video calling platform based on WebRTC technology, from April 2014 to July 2018. That was after he served as its CEO from May 2009 to April 2014. Small also held the role of Senior Vice President and General Manager at Mark Logic Corporation.
In his new role, Small hopes to bring a renewed note-taking and productivity service to users.
