When discussing results for the year ended September 30, Stephen Kelly, CEO of the Sage Group, said almost 40 percent of the company's top 100 employees had been replaced. That shuffling continues as Sage's focus on operating as a global company—not country-by-country—is being shown by the continued appointment of staffers to global positions. Among those elevated in December was Sally Swoboda, who had been senior business analyst for X3, and who became global distribution product manager for the manufacturing package.
