Sage has named Jerry Connor as product evangelist, a title I don't think I've heard before from that software company. Conner worked at CCH/Wolters Kluwer for 24 years, primarily in marketing and product management. Among the jobs he held after joining the software publisher in 1991 was senior product line manager for CCH products from April 2010 through May 2014.

Joshua Thigpen, who worked at SWK Technologies since August 2013, has returned to Nextec where he worked from May 2005 through August 2013. Thigpen is the latest in a series of personnel changes at Livingston, N.J.-based SWK since former CEO Jeff Roth left in February. He was SVP at SWK from August 2013 through October 2015 and EVP of SWK from October 2015 through last month.

Unit4 has hired Yann Leca as CFO, the latest in  executive restocking by the software company this year. The Netherlands-based company named Stephen Sieber as CEO in April. Leca previously held senior-level positions private equity-owned companies.
