WealthTouch, Inc. today announced that it has appointed Craig Pearson as President. The appointment of Pearson, a leading financial technology executive with extensive experience in the global wealth management industry, signals a renewed focus on product innovation and international expansion for one of the world’s largest and fastest growing consolidated investment reporting service providers.
