MINNEAPOLIS (Oct. 2, 2013) - XRS Corporation (NASDAQ: XRSC), the leader in mobile trucking intelligence, announced today that current President and Chief Operating Officer Brendan Reidy has also been named Chief Technology Officer.
“As XRS enters its new fiscal year, the company is stronger in all phases of business than it was one year ago,” said Jay Coughlan, chairman and CEO, XRS Corporation. “This is a testament to the strength of our product, customer relationships, and the deep talent pool within the organization. Expanding Brendan’s role to leverage his depth of understanding of our product, people, customers and marketplace is an important step toward helping the company attain its goals.”

In addition, he served as a director of several technology companies including eGistics, Arantech, Evolving Systems and Greenbrier & Russel.
“I am inspired by the level of growth XRS has been able to achieve during the past fiscal year, but realize there is still a significant opportunity to leverage our market position more completely and effectively,” Reidy said. “I am looking forward to working with everyone at XRS to achieve our shared vision for success in the mobile trucking intelligence marketplace.”
