Jeremy Murphy is the current COO & President at ClickTripz, the leading contextual ad network for the travel industry, which each month delivers tens of millions of travel-intenders to the world's largest travel websites. At Clicktripz, Mr. Murphy has orchestrated pioneering new B2B software from ideation to roll-out, including the first AI-powered conversational advertisement trained to be an expert on each advertiser's product offering by leveraging state-of-the-art document indexing and language models. Previously, he co-founded TheSuitest, a hotel data-analytics platform featured in the NYTimes, The Today Show and elsewhere for using natural language processing to compare and quantify hotel accommodations. TheSuitest was successfully acquired by Clicktripz in 2015. Prior to his current role, Mr. Murphy had significant experience in various crucial positions at prominent financial institutions. Mr. Murphy was an analyst in the Investment Management Division of Goldman Sachs & Co. as part of a team responsible for nearly $10 billion in public equity investments. Jeremy later worked as a risk manager for the investment arm of the Gulf Bank of Kuwait and its controlling shareholder, where he helped direct $800 million in hedge fund assets.

Mr. Murphy's impressive academic background includes an MBA from UCLA-Anderson, where he graduated in the top 1% of his class and received the prestigious Fred Weston Award for Excellence in Finance. Additionally, he holds a Juris Doctorate from the UCLA School of Law, where he attended as a Dean's Scholar.

Per the 8K filed on August 28, 2023, Research Solutions also announced the resignation of Eugene Robin from the Board after many years of dedicated service. Mr. Robin's resignation results solely from his engagement by a new firm whose compliance policy prohibits service on boards of directors generally and does not relate to any disagreement with Research Solutions nor any refusal to stand for re-election to the Board.
