Earlier this month, I just missed Rich Spring, Sage North America's EVP and chief revenue officer, who was talking to someone at the Information Technology Alliance conference. He darted away before I could talk to him. No need now as the Spring era has ended. Spring, who joined the company in April, has left with Sage thanking him for his time. CFO Marc Scheipe, who is serving as interim president of Sage North America, will take over his duties until a replacement is found.
