Frank Vella, formerly chief revenue officer at BlueJeans Network, has joined New York-based business intelligence and analytics platforms provider Information Builders as chief operating officer.
Vella will collaborate with Information Builders™ executive group to seek new market opportunities, support expansion efforts and create growth strategies, the company said Monday.

Vella previously worked at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) as vice president of worldwide sales and as COO at Virtustream.
He held VP roles at Quest Software for four years and spent nearly a decade at Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) as general manager and managing director of the software firm™s financial services industry practice.
Prior to Microsoft, Vella also worked at General Electric (NYSE: GE) as VP of sales and as account executive at Xerox (NYSE: XRX).
