Frank J. Vella Appointed CEO
To kick start 2019, Information Builders announced the appointment of Frank J. Vella as CEO, succeeding the company's original visionary and founder Gerald D.

With it, channel partners have access to resources and economic incentives to help them generate new revenue streams through creating, building, and selling products and projects that leverage Information Builders' highly scalable data management and analytics solutions.
