Lawson Software announced that Jim Anderson, executive vice president of global services, will be leaving the company June 13 to pursue other opportunities. Until his departure, Anderson will continue in his role and oversee the company's global services team.
Anderson has served as executive vice president of global services since April 2006. He joined Lawson through the merger with Intentia, where he was senior vice president of global services since October 2005.
"Jim was instrumental in helping Lawson and Intentia come together," said Harry Debes, Lawson president and CEO. "Under his leadership, we have made excellent progress on our journey and for this we owe him a big thank you. Now that he's moving on, we wish him well in his new endeavors."
"I'm proud that we've built a new services foundation for the new company. We have expanded our services offerings, grown our global delivery capabilities and improved many operating metrics. Now, two years after the merger, I believe it's time to recruit a new leader to build on and extend that foundation and move our global services organization through the next stage in our transformation initiatives."
Lawson has engaged a search firm to fill the open position. After June 13 and until a successor is named, the Lawson services organization will report to Debes.
