Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 13, 2009 -- TravelCLICK, the leader in hotel ecommerce solutions, today named Helen E. Wallace as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Reporting to TravelCLICK's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Post, Wallace will oversee all of TravelCLICK's global financial operations as well as spearhead key strategic initiatives focused on enterprise systems integration and international standards compliance.
 "Helen's leadership and public company CFO experience are important additions to TravelCLICK at this stage of the company's development," said Robert Post.
