GRAPEVINE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TruDecision Inc. announces the advisory board appointment of former IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers Partner and Southern Methodist University Research Professor John Medellin.

Since inception, the company has expanded to dealership and lender clients in both countries and launched two flagship products: the Expert Auto Credit Score for lenders, and Dealer Edge, which significantly augments auto dealer leads with predictive models and data that improve closure rates while reducing expense.
Dr. Medellin is presently Research Associate Professor at Southern Methodist University, and CEO/CTO of Medellin Applied Research Concepts, LLC. His current research focus is on blockchain consensus algorithms and the implications for workload performance.
