Nina Smith, who headed Sage North America's largest division for the last year, has left the company in the latest of a series of major changes. And those who have been asking what new CEO Sue Swenson has been doing since joining the company in March have probably stopped asking. Smith, who spent seven years with Sage, had headed the Business Management Division, which oversees all North American accounting applications. BMD was organized last year after the parent Sage group ousted senior management. Smith, of course, resigned to pursue other interests. But it's not hard to note her group's revenue was flat and that the Sage 360, the major marketing campaign begun under her when she was chief marketing officer, is being significantly changed, not that anyone mentioned these things but they are factors that tend to have an impact on corporate changes. The company also named Motasim Najeeb as chief technology officer. It was a job that Sage had said it would not fill after the only previous occupant, Jim Foster, exited during the October 2007 management purge. Under Swenson, the company has also hired a new CFO, a new president for its payments division, laid off 400 people in two waves and sold off its payroll services.
