Baltimore, Md. — Protenus, a healthcare compliance analytics platform that monitors activity within electronic health records, today announced the addition of Brian Holtmeier as Chief Financial Officer. Prior to joining Protenus, Brian spent 15 years in financial and accounting roles for IBM, recently as the CFO of IBM Security Systems, CFO of the IBM-acquired SaaS marketing automation company SilverPop, and Assistant Controller for IBM North America.

I couldn’t be more excited about the future of Protenus.”
While serving as the Assistant Controller for IBM North America, Brian collaborated with seven markets and multiple brands across the U.S. and Canada to maximize and forecast revenue, while managing profit and ensuring proper controls posture. He also served as CFO for IBM SilverPop, managing all aspects of finance while guiding the company through the transition of business to IBM. His leadership tenure with IBM also included financial roles with IBM Security Systems and IBM Software Group.
