(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/20/13 -- , an award winning content creation and media technology company, has appointed Emilia Sherifova as Chief Technology Officer. In this position, Emilia will play a key role in shaping PulsePoint's technology strategy as the company embarks on its next phase of growth.
