Kiran Analytics Promotes Jim DeLapa to Chief Executive Officer
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- Kiran Analytics announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Jim DeLapa Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. DeLapa previously held the position of President of Kiran Analytics.
“There is no better person to lead Kiran than Jim DeLapa,” said Dr. Ali Kiran—Kiran’s Founder, former CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Jim is a proven leader with excellent leadership skills, retail banking industry knowledge, and technology commercialization experience. His vision for how our predictive analytics will help retail banks with branch transformation is exactly what we need as our company enters its next stage of growth.”
Since joining the company in 2006, DeLapa has led two major product development initiatives powered by Kiran's predictive analytics technology.

The faster our customers can achieve significant ROI, the faster our business will grow.”
