REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwired) — 07/28/15 — , the data accessibility company, today announced Eric Brisson as vice president of customer development and Stephanie McReynolds as vice president of marketing. The executive appointments strengthen Alation–s leadership as the company scales to support rapid growth and customer demand.

Prior to Alation, Eric held a number of sales executive positions at ILOG (acquired by IBM), where he was responsible for the 200+ million revenue growth at the company as executive vice president of worldwide sales and services. Most recently, Eric has been an angel investor in a number of startups in the U.S. and France.
