LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Building on last month's announcement of $11M raised in Series A funding, Boulevard, the technology company transforming the way premium spas and salons do business, today announced the appointment of Greg Wookey as the company's first Chief Financial Officer. In his new role at Boulevard, Mr. Wookey will be responsible for overseeing the company's finance, accounting, corporate development, financial planning & analysis (FP&A) functions, as well as leading Boulevard's payments business unit.
Mr. Wookey's appointment is part of a larger effort to capitalize on Boulevard's momentum in the market.

Bringing more than 30 years of financial and operational experience in the tech industry to his new role, Mr. Wookey has a proven track record of driving profitable growth for several private and public companies. Prior to joining Boulevard, he served as the CFO for Inbenta, a company that provides AI and natural-language understanding for search, chatbots, and knowledge management. Before Inbenta, he spent nearly seven years at MINDBODY, Inc., where he served as the CFO and SVP of Merchant Processing Division. His expertise also earned him a position on both the Retail Technology Committee and Payment Sales & Strategy Committee for the Electronic Transaction Association.
"Not only is Greg an incredible finance leader and team builder, but he is also one of the industry's foremost experts on payments-enabled vertical SaaS," said Matt Danna, Co-Founder & CEO, Boulevard.
