SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2016 -- First San Francisco Partners, Inc. (FSFP), a boutique business advisory and enterprise information management (EIM) consultancy dedicated to the cost-effective delivery of highly customized and business-driven integrated information management solutions, today announced that Malcolm Chisholm has joined the company as Chief Innovation Officer.

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Malcolm to the FSFP team,” said Kelle O’Neal, Founder and CEO of FSFP. “His extensive experience across the data management spectrum, combined with his proven insight across a number of key vertical markets, will be instrumental in assuring our clients continue to receive the best information management services that create real business impact.”

Malcolm brings more than 25 years’ experience in data management, having worked in a variety of sectors including finance, insurance, manufacturing, government, defense and intelligence, pharmaceuticals and retail. His deep experience spans specializations in data governance, master/reference data management, metadata engineering, business rules management/execution, data architecture and design, and the organization of Enterprise Information Management. Malcolm is a well-known presenter at conferences in the US and Europe, writes columns in trade journals, and has authored the books: Managing Reference Data in Enterprise Databases; How to Build a Business Rules Engine; and Definitions in Information Management.  In 2011, Malcolm was presented with the prestigious DAMA International Professional Achievement Award for contributions to Master Data Management.
