Alfresco Software Taps Veteran Silicon Valley CFO, Bruce Felt, to Join Its Board(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2014 Fueled by a differentiated hybrid model in the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) industry and unique with its open-source DNA, Alfresco Software today welcomed Bruce Felt, a highly-regarded Silicon Valley CFO, to its Board. Felt is expected to lead Alfresco's Audit Committee, a subcommittee of the Board that is responsible for the financial operations of the company.
