IDS Adds Noel as Chief Product Officer

Bill Noel joined IDS, a provider of enterprise solutions for secured finance, as chief product officer. In this newly created executive position, Noel will play a strategic role in leading and integrating the company's portfolio of product offerings to deliver value to the global secured finance market.

"IDS is experiencing unprecedented growth in both new customers and the expansion into adjacent markets through our recent acquisitions," David Hamilton, CEO of IDS, said. "As the company evolves, it was critical to establish an executive product leader to ensure we realize the full potential of our expanding portfolio. Bill brings to IDS strong portfolio and product management experience that will help drive our ambitious growth objectives and ensure that we continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers through our integrated offerings. I am very excited to welcome him to the IDS team."

Noel has more than 20 years of experience in business and operational strategy, innovation, and product and portfolio management. As CPO, he will provide strategic product leadership for IDS’ global portfolio, which includes IDScloud, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for secured finance.

“IDS’ leadership position in the secured finance market, growth strategy and their commitment to the development of a world-class, integrated SaaS platform is what attracted me to the role,” Noel said. “The team has built a solid foundation from which to grow the portfolio to meet the rapidly changing needs of secured finance. I am excited to be joining a great team and helping deliver world-class product value to our customers.”

Most recently, Noel served as group vice president of product portfolio, program and pricing at Blue Yonder, a provider of supply chain software. He was responsible for driving the portfolio strategy, product management processes, SaaS pricing, new product introduction and the internal product organization operating model.
