\u201cThese appointments represent the latest steps in SageNet\u2019s steady evolution,\u201d said Woodard. \u201cNow in our 23rd year, we\u2019ve grown from start-up to one of the industry\u2019s leading managed services partners. Brad\u2019s move to CEO, and John\u2019s appointment to our new COO position reflect our fundamental belief that SageNet must combine the systems, processes, and operational excellence of a major corporation with the innovative thinking and agility of a start-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

New CEO Brad Wise agrees. \u201cDaryl and I have been working together for almost a decade. We see these new appointments as catalysts for change. Yet, we will also remain true to the fundamentals that have brought us so much success.
