Michael A. Smerklo was elected to join the board of directors of SPS Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) effective as of January 21, 2014, filling the seat previously held by Bradley A. Cleveland who resigned effective January 21, 2014. Mr. Smerklo serves as Chairman and CEO of ServiceSource International, Inc.

ServiceSource is a market leader in recurring revenue management, increasing customers’ recurring revenue, profits and end-customer retention.
