world's most elite banks and legal institutions. We can now bring
that experience to all our products around the world."
Prior to BoardEx, Ireland was a management consultant
specializing in e-commerce and technology; head of product

"BoardEx and The Deal have been a critical part of my working
life and I am delighted to further grow these businesses as part of
a leadership team tasked with executing a broader strategic vision
for TheStreet," Ireland said. "We have an excellent technology team
in place to deliver new products and focus on technical strategies
that will help drive the entire company forward."
