Risley joins StreamBase Systems

StreamBase Systems Inc. of Lexington announced today that Chris Risley has joined the company as chief executive officer.

StreamBase specializes in complex event processing, providing a platform initially developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, and Brandeis University; the company says it takes a new approach to processing and analyzing real-time streaming data.

Risley replaces Barry Morris, who has led StreamBase since 2004 and who is leaving the company to create a new technology startup, StreamBase said.
