“Donald will be a tremendous asset to our team,” said Joe Langner, executive vice president and general manager of mid-market solutions for Sage, in a statement. “Donald’s breadth of experience in senior management roles at companies that range from start-ups to early stage companies to multinationals demonstrates his deep understanding of businesses and the challenges they face. I am confident about the potential that Donald brings to our team and the new opportunities that he’ll soon introduce to Sage partners.”
