ERP and CRM stalwart Sage Group plc has taken an important step in the reorganization of its North American division, known as Sage Software, naming telecom industry veteran Sue Swenson president and CEO of the division.

The search for a CEO began last fall, when Sage ousted then-CEO Ron Verni and CFO James Eckstaedt. At the time, officials at United Kingdom-based parent firm Sage Group said the leadership of the North American division needed a different skill set to match the business' reconstituted structure.
