Mediware Chief Operating Officer to Step Down Later this Year
John Damgaard resigns from the Lenexa-based software company.
LENEXA, KS, June 1, 2012 - Mediware Information Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDW) announced that John Damgaard will step down as chief operating officer of the company effective September 7, 2012. Mr. Damgaard leaves Mediware to join a private company as its president.
"It is with sadness, but also pride, that I announce the departure of John Damgaard,” said Thomas Mann, Mediware’s president and chief executive officer. “He has been a tremendous asset in positioning the Company for continued success. While we will all miss him, he is taking the next step in his career and we wish him much continued success."
“I have spent almost nine years working to grow the business and establish Mediware software as the leading edge in the segments of care we serve,” said Mr. Damgaard. “I am very proud of all that we have accomplished during my time at Mediware and look forward to watching the company from the sidelines as it continues to grow.”
Mr. Damgaard will continue in his current role throughout the summer to ensure a smooth transition. Mr. Mann will leverage the time to consider several options, including hiring a new Chief Operating Officer or restructuring roles within the company to take advantage of the strong leaders that Mediware has developed over the years.
