(NASDAQ: INOD), a leading provider of knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) services, as well as publishing and related information technology (IT) services, today announced the expansion of its consulting and technology outsourcing capabilities, as the company added several senior business process consultants and IT services executives.

Among a number of recent additions to Innodata Isogen are Stephen Ryden-Lloyd, Michael Abell and Stephen Casbeer, each a veteran business and technology strategist with a distinguished record of leadership at industry bellwethers such as Thomson Reuters, Pearson and Reed Elsevier.

In addition to extensive IT outsourcing experience, he brings skills in new business development, global account management and project delivery to his leadership role as senior vice president.
Ryden-Lloyd and Abell co-founded The Publishing Practice, a business process transformation and IT consulting firm, where they served clients such as Blackwell, Thomson, Informa, Harcourt, the Financial Times and Reed Elsevier. Prior to launching the firm, Ryden-Lloyd served as director of content management at Pearson PLC’s Penguin Group as well as on the executive board of Penguin’s Digital Media Division. Abell, also an industry veteran, led systems architecture and digital production teams at Thomson Reuters.
