UECKER-RUST LEAVES SAGE
It's autumn and the Sage executives are starting to fall. OK, it's only one but the Sage year ended on September 30 and this is the period when executives historically leave. This time, it was Great Plains veteran Jodi Uecker-Rust, who has resigned from Sage North America for what were called personal reasons, by an internal announcement. Uecker-Rust, who was an key member of Doug Burgum's executive team at Great Plains, had served as president of Sage Business Solutions since Feb. 9, 2009.
That position has responsibility for the applications in the accounting space, including the MAS line, Sage Pro, Accpac, the bulk of Sage's historical products. The note to the channel from sales VP Paul Johnson and channel VP Tom Miller said a replacement will be sought and that the two will report to Sue Swenson, CEO of Sage North America, in the interim. Uecker-Rust had brought a strong Great Plains flavor to Sage as a number of former Great Plains employees, including MIller, joined Sage during her tenure.
