Today the Board of Directors of Manhattan Associates Inc.

and CEO, will retire from his position effective February 12, 2025.

special projects. Mr. Capel will be succeeded by Eric Clark, who
has been serving as CEO of NTT Data North America. Mr. Clark will

Mr. Capel joined Manhattan in June 2000, and, after serving in
various operations and technology roles, became its Chief Operating

became CEO of NTT Ltd. Americas, a leading IT infrastructure and
services company that combined with NTT DATA in April 2024, upon

America. Earlier in his career, Mr. Clark held numerous global,
senior leadership positions with ServiceNow, Dell, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, Arthur Andersen Business Consulting, Ernst & Young
and Bank of America.
John Huntz, Manhattan’s Chairman, commented, “Eddie Capel has
accomplished a great deal as CEO setting our strategic direction,
building our winning team and creating shareholder value. During
his tenure as CEO, Manhattan solidified its position as a leading
global technology provider and innovator in both supply chain and
omnichannel commerce. The Board thanks Eddie for his dedication to
Manhattan over the last 25 years and for working diligently with
the Board during our comprehensive CEO succession planning process
over the last 24 months. We look forward to his continued
involvement as Executive Vice-Chairman and as a member of the Board
of Directors.”
Mr. Capel stated, “This is an ideal time for a CEO transition.
Our company is in an exceptionally strong position strategically,
competitively, operationally and financially. I want to thank our
management team and our entire workforce, which is second to none,
for their hard work and dedication to our mission of advancing
global commerce through advanced technology. I look forward to
working closely with Eric and continuing to contribute to our
product vision, interacting with our customers and partners, and
ensuring the growth and success of Manhattan Associates. And I have
confidence that under Eric’s leadership, the team will continue to
capitalize on our many market opportunities and extend our global
leadership position.”
Regarding his appointment, Eric Clark commented, “Manhattan’s
impact on global commerce continues to be considerable, and the
greatest opportunities clearly are still in front of us. I could
not be more excited to work with Eddie, the Board and the
management team to build on Manhattan’s prior achievements and
chart the course for our future success.”
