"Ed has done an outstanding job as our CFO for the last three years, seeing us through a time of growth and solid financial management, said Sinisgalli. "As we have stated, mergers and acquisitions are a component of our growth strategy. Given Eds leadership in recent acquisitions, and the operations leadership that he brought to Manhattan Associates in 2001, I have asked Ed to take on this broader role to lead our M&A activity as well as help us drive additional performance improvements across our organisation, added Sinisgalli.
Mr. Norton is currently executive vice president (EVP) and CFO for Concurrent Computing, an Atlanta-based, publicly traded technology company that offers real-time computing and video-on-demand solutions.
