iSoftStone has finally gotten around to announcing that Bruce Ferland has been named as its president and head its newly formed North American and European Operations.  We first heard rumors about Bruce taking this role last year, so I guess that we can now file this in the “facts” category.

I met Mr. Ferland when I tried to get involved in a transaction that Darwin Partners was doing.  Since he moved on from Darwin, he’s been deeply involved in China outsourcing, and it looks like he finally has a shiny new toy to play with.  Congratulations to Bruce!

Given Bruce’s extensive background in the financial industry, one can’t help but wonder whether iSoftStone plans to make a concerted push into that particular vertical.
