"After meeting with the LIBRA team, we recognized that their spirit of innovation toward efficiency while maintaining a high level of service is very much in line with our organization," said Yoel Y Bodek, founding CEO of Broker Central. "Partnering with them is part of our plan for continued expansion as LIBRA's capabilities are perfectly aligned to support our growth initiatives, and we look forward to tapping into the synergies that come from this partnership."
