Black Book has expanded its executive team with the hire of a vice president of analytics and strategic relationships. The company has chosen Anil Goyal to fill the VP spot.

Goyal comes to Black Book with a background in strategy, primarily in banking positions, the company said.

For example, Goyal has held senior risk positions at Bank of American and senior marketing positions at Citigroup.

And most recently, the new Black Book exec served as the chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Corserv Solutions — a company he co-founded in 2009 that provides credit card portfolio services and analytics to community financial institutions.

“Our customers rely on Black Book for the industry’s most accurate data to help them make profitable business decisions each day,” said Tom Cross, president of Black Book. “With the addition of Anil, Black Book complements this data with a deeper reach into trend analysis that provides further decision-making context for our customers.”

Black Book management further explained Goyal will enable Black Book to expand its reach into data and trend analysis for customers in a variety of leading industries.

With the hire of Goyal, Black Book said the new exec “offers customers a new level of knowledge and insight into the trends shaping today’s valuation data.

“His expertise is a major asset to customers seeking deeper engagements in advanced data analytics platforms: Automotive manufactures and dealers seeking vehicle valuation data, lenders identifying the right risk for portfolio expansion and data purveyors across leading industries,” the company concluded.
