(NasdaqGS:VIGN), an Austin-based content management software company which merged with Open Text Corporation in July 2009, provided him with a strong up to date foundation in public company strategy. With Mr. Kelly?s guidance in the interim role, ExpressJet is well-prepared to continue its solid performance while considering candidates to fill the CEO role on a long term basis. At the time that the CEO role is filled, Mr. Kelly will return to his board service with the additional insights earned through his in-depth work in the company. The Company also announced that T.
