Mr. Rigney will assume responsibilities on June 18 and, as part of a planned transition, will succeed co-founder Jim McCooey who has announced his retirement after leading the Company for the past 40 years.
“I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to CAI Software’s expansion as we grow the business both organically as well as via strategic acquisition,” Mr. Rigney said. “Our commitment to our customers in each of our core verticals is stronger than ever as we continue to develop new technology solutions to help them drive profitability.”

Brian has held a range of C-level positions in technology companies, including most recently as Chief Executive Officer for Zmags, a provider of SaaS-based platforms that help digital marketers and ecommerce professionals easily create and rapidly publish rich, digital content. Beyond work, Brian’s passions are family and being outside — especially anything that involves two wheels, mountains or the ocean.
