'This is a landmark occasion, as we further redefine the company into a true global enterprise', comments Vin Gupta, Chairman, CEO and Founder of infoGROUP. 'The opportunities are limitless and we are extremely well positioned for a foundation of success overseas, much as we have demonstrated stateside.'
