BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ — Circadence Corporation, the global leader in the development of innovative enterprise performance technologies, announced today that John Kelley has joined their board of directors. Mr. Kelley, former CEO and Chairman of MacData Corporation, is the current CEO and Chairman of Cerescan Imaging, Inc., a Denver-based brain scanning company focusing in on brain disorders and traumatic injuries.
