NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dan Flynn and Joe Yasinski have been named Vice Presidents of distribution for Gold Bullion International (GBI), the leading institutional precious metals provider to individual investors and the wealth management industry.

"Dan and Joe bring significant experience in dealing with our key customer base, and prospective clients," said Savneet Singh, GBI's chief executive officer. "Our growth, especially in the past few months, has been on a record pace, and we know Dan and Joe will provide additional momentum to that trend."
