Donuts Inc., the domain name registration firm targeting the new global top level domain (gTLD) market which has major operations in Los Angeles, has appointed a new CFO, the company said Tuesday. The firm announced that it has named Jeff deCillia as its Chief Financial Officer, located in the company's Bellevue, Washington office. Kevin Wilson, the company's former CFO, has become VP of Finance. deCillia was most recently CFO of INRIX, and also served as CFO of PivotLink, Captaris (acquired by OpenText), and Cartia (acquired by Amazon).
