WESTPORT, Conn., Aug. 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jason Brausewetter, a leader in business development, marketing and sales, has joined Rivel Research Group as Vice President, effective August 15th. With more than 15 years of experience in financial services and capital markets, Brausewetter will be responsible for new business development and driving Rivel's growth strategy into new markets.
Before joining Rivel Research Group, Brausewetter was a Senior Vice President & Managing Director at CFN Services and spent six years at NASDAQ OMX, holding the positions of Vice President - Head of Global Sales and Director of Sales of NASDAQ's Shareholder.com division. Earlier in his career, Brausewetter was a Business Development Manager at Citigate Financial Intelligence (now part of Ipreo), a sales trader at Schwab Soundview Capital Markets and a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley.
"Having worked closely with Jason for a number of years through our partnership with NASDAQ OMX, we came to recognize his talent almost immediately. Jason was an internal champion and staunch supporter of our work and he helped make the partnership a success. When it recently came to our attention that Jason was ready for his next opportunity, it was an easy decision to bring him on board," said Rivel Research Group President Brian Rivel. "A big part of our strategy is targeting public companies not yet familiar with the Rivel brand, and Jason brings with him a successful track record in the industry and the ability to leverage his experience and contacts to increase our client base considerably."
"I look forward to working alongside Rivel's team of seasoned professionals in providing companies with the quality service and committed focus that Rivel is known for," said Brausewetter. "Given Rivel's reputation, I believe there are substantial growth opportunities for both of Rivel's core products, investor perception studies and the unique investor relations best practices program, the Intelligence Council. It presents a great opportunity to join a winning team and true pioneer in the marketplace."

About the Rivel Research Group Intelligence Council
Rivel's Intelligence Council is the only program of its kind that involves the perspective of the buy-side in the discussion of what is best-in-class investor relations. Most programs that exist today use peer-based information to uncover what is a "best" practice, which is more of a "common" practice rather than a "best" practice. By understanding buy-side needs, the Intelligence Council provides a better platform to connect with peers on discussion. It is no longer about what everybody else is doing, rather the question becomes, "What does the investment community expect and how does this correlate with what is currently provided?"
