Sage's description for what it wants it in a new chief marketing officer has some interesting phrases. According to the job posting on the company's website, the person Sage hopes to replace departing Santiago Solanas is supposed to "Transform Sage's brand position so it is positioned as "cool" and innovative and seen as a thought leader in its target geographies".

Sage has confirmed that Jacqueline de Rojas, managing director of Sage U.K., Ireland and Northern Europe, is leaving the company. That comes on the heels of the move by global chief marketing officer Santiago Solanas to Cisco this month. While Solanas was a 10-year employee of the software company, de Rojas had taken her position only in July.
