AUBURN, Calif., July 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Riskalyze today announced the appointment of Redtail Technology CEO Brian McLaughlin to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

"Brian and his team have built Redtail into an incredible organization with dominant market share among advisors.

"We're excited to welcome him to our Board of Directors, and I look forward to the many contributions he will make to our growth and success."

McLaughlin co-founded Redtail, the industry's leading provider of cloud-based customer relationship management software, serving 40,000 financial advisory firms and more than 120,000 users across the country. He has served in the dual role of CEO and chief technology officer since Redtail's founding in 2003.
