Landslide Technologies, a customer relationship management software company with offices in Burlington, MA, and Pittsburgh, PA, announced today that it has raised $8 million in growth capital and hired a new president and CEO, Rick Faulk, the former CEO of web-based social media and training software company Mzinga. Faulk left Burlington-based Mzinga last March, just as the weak economy forced the company to cut its workforce by 18 percent, leaving it with 170 employees. Faulk will also serve on the board of directors at Landslide, whose financing round was led by Adams Capital Management, headquartered in Pittsburgh.
