Philippe Chambadal, head of DIFC Investment's acquisition vehicle DClear, has taken the reins at SmartStream after Ken Archer stepped down in February. DClear became SmartStream's parent company in November 2007 when DIFC stepped in to acquire the vendor after its aborted IPO. Chambadal's first major task as CEO has been overseeing the development and launch of a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based delivery model for the company's TLM Reconciliations product.
