not separately disclosed U.S. Research We’re also excited to have Jean-François aboard. He knows the French market well and is a respected opinion  maker. We were so impressed with Jean-François that we’ve named him leader of our entire business in France. As I mentioned in last year’s letter, we also acquired the Footnoted.org website and the Footnoted Pro service in  2010. Footnoted provides value by surfacing crucial investment information from SEC filings for professional  money managers and analysts, and it’s a nice complement to our investor-centric content on Morningstar.com. We said goodbye to two senior managers who made significant contributions to Morningstar over the  past two decades. Tao Huang was most recently our chief operating officer. Tao came up through the technology  side of our business and played a lead role in developing our software offerings. He went on to work closely  with Bevin Desmond in building our international operations. In  2000, I named Tao as COO, and he’s  been deeply involved in our operations since then. Tao helped make Morningstar what it is today, and I thank  him for all he’s done. Patrick Reinkemeyer was instrumental in starting Morningstar Associates—our investment consulting  business—in  1998. It was a big step for us to move from a research firm that offered opinions to an advisory  firm that managed client assets. Patrick led that transition and did an exemplary job building our invest- ment consulting business into an industry leader. Both Tao and Patrick did their jobs with intelligence, energy,  and good spirits. We’ll miss them both.  Management Changes Footnoted Morningstar, Inc. 2010 Annual Report 21
