“When I joined j2 in 1996 to become its first employee, we had great vision but little resources,” said j2’s CEO, Hemi Zucker. “During this time we not only survived but thrived despite a dotcom bubble and then a worldwide financial crisis. I now know that this success is due to the combination of our early vision together with our hard work and discipline. We now have much greater resources than we did back in 1996, but I’m pleased to report that we maintain the same vision and dedication to hard work and discipline. I thank and congratulate our employees, Board of Directors and partners for our long track record of success and look forward to the future with great optimism.”
