ALBANY, NY and TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Sep 14, 2017) - Vena Solutions, the fastest growing provider of cloud-based corporate performance management (CPM) software, today announced it has appointed Shawn Cadeau to chief operating officer (COO). Vena has seen accelerated growth in quarterly revenues under Cadeau's leadership as chief revenue officer (CRO), along with industry-leading customer satisfaction, revenue retention and more.
