Xata Corp. on Thursday, April 21, named Scott Christian as the company’s chief financial officer.

“We’re thrilled to have Scott as part of our executive team,” says Jay Coughlan, Xata chairman and chief executive officer. “More than bringing a powerful record of financial skills, Scott has a depth of executive level experience that will fit extremely well with Xata’s growth strategy and potential. He makes a strong management team even stronger.”
