GRAPEVINE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TruDecision Inc. announces the advisory board appointment of former IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers Partner and Southern Methodist University Research Professor John Medellin.
“We are thrilled to have someone of John’s stature join our advisory board and look forward to his contributions as we scale our technology for auto lenders and dealerships,” said Daniel Parry, co-founder and CEO of TruDecision. “Dr. Medellin is not only breaking new ground in blockchain research but brings decades of experience helping some of the largest companies in the world navigate the challenges of competing in a high-tech marketplace.

Since inception, the company has expanded to dealership and lender clients in both countries and launched two flagship products: the Expert Auto Credit Score for lenders, and Dealer Edge, which significantly augments auto dealer leads with predictive models and data that improve closure rates while reducing expense.
Dr. Medellin is presently Research Associate Professor at Southern Methodist University, and CEO/CTO of Medellin Applied Research Concepts, LLC. His current research focus is on blockchain consensus algorithms and the implications for workload performance. He has a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Software Engineering from Southern Methodist University, a CPA designation in the State of Texas and holds two patents.
