LONDON, ENGLAND and PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA and CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan. 8, 2016) - Risk management and payment processing specialist Vogogo Inc. ("Vogogo") (TSX VENTURE:VGO) today announced that its current COO, Tom Wenz, will transition to the role as Vogogo's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately.
