CHARLESTON, SC – To address opportunities in data management and business intelligence, RiskSpan, Inc. (www.riskspan.com) announced it has hired Ramesh Mugalam to lead its Data Management-Advanced Analytics Practice and has opened a new Analytics Center of Excellence in Charleston, SC.

Earlier this month, Bernadette Kogler, President of RiskSpan (http://www.riskspan.com/team-bios/2015/4/9/bernadette-kogler) announced that Mugalam had joined the firm: “In recruiting Ramesh to join the RiskSpan management team, we found the right leader at the right time to solve some of today’s biggest data challenges.  Ramesh is a tremendous add for RiskSpan given his background and skill-set that aligns so well to our core competencies.”

Ramesh (http://linkd.in/1BKUGRD) was most recently with IBM – Strategy & Analytics Practice. In this role he led client strategy on engagements in the financial services sector, with a focus on data management, including data architecture and large-scale data governance.  Ramesh’s work also included delivering IBM data analytics solutions for clients and managing data transformation initiatives.  Ramesh has architected data discovery and reporting solutions for Big Data solutions and has worked with clients to develop solutions for unstructured and dark data sets.  Prior to IBM, Ramesh was with LexisNexis – Risk Solutions where he was responsible for growth strategy with data analytics products and client program management.

“In adding Ramesh to our senior management team, RiskSpan is getting an innovator and leader in the data analytics space,” said Brad Davis, Senior Managing Director of RiskSpan. Davis went on to say: “He clearly complements our deep technical capabilities in this offering and brings an important voice to the strategic conversations we are having with our clients.”

Following immediately on the hiring of Ramesh Mugalam, RiskSpan opened a new Analytics Center of Excellence in Charleston, SC. Planned, developed, and launched to serve the on-shore needs of clients that had previously relied on off-shore or US rural-sourced data management and business intelligence solutions, RiskSpan is meeting a surge in client demand for its data analytics capabilities.

Derek Ross, CFO of RiskSpan (http://www.riskspan.com/team-bios/2015/4/9/derek-ross), and Charleston, SCresident, is providing hands-on leadership to the COE and said: “The new center builds on our expertise deriving business insight and reporting value from our client’s internal and external systems. In Charleston, we are developing custom business intelligence and reporting solutions that enable our clients to leverage data from their existing infrastructure, to evaluate performance, and gain business insight across multiple dimensions.”
