Congratulations to both Cruz and Specter.

They leave big shoes to fill at IN, particularly with respect to the very popular InvestmentNews/Moss Adams studies.

The business model of a publisher having its own consulting arm, supported by its own research, was an interesting one. I thought there was potential there.

Best of luck to Kelli and Jennifer – Mike Byrnes, President of Byrnes Consulting, LLC, www.byrnesconsulting.com
