The Sage Group℠ announces Emerging Business Practice
Todd Ostrander, Entrepreneur, Mobility Market Maker, named Practice Leader
The Sage Group – Bellevue, Washington – September 14, 2009 – The Sage Group℠ the authors of the Path to Value℠ methodology for driving personal, professional and corporate value, announced today an Emerging Business Practice and named an experienced entrepreneur to lead it.
“Sage assists companies facing a business inflection point around “value”: how to see “value” more clearly, how to grow “value” more effectively, and how to realize “value” more predictably”, said Ron Worman, Managing Director of The Sage Group. ”There is a serious shortage of seasoned professionals who can navigate from an idea to a strategy to earning the right to investor capital. Todd is one of those people.”
“From experience I know how difficult it is to execute a value strategy”, said Ostrander. “Many of us do the research and from experience can intuit a value proposition, but I believe Sage’s Path to Value creates a more predictable outcome for investors and owners.”
Ostrander has successfully raised over $65 million in Angel and Venture financing while building successful teams poised to ensure investor value. He is passionate about building company cultures required to ensure success.
With specific expertise in enterprise software, Software as a Service (SaaS), mobility and early stage capitalization, Ostrander has been on the leading edge of the new digital economy. Prior to joining Sage, he was the founding CEO of Perlego Systems, taking it from its creation, team recruitment, business strategy, product acquisition and launch, and capitalization. Perlego was the first Software as a Service (SaaS) product in the Mobile Device Management category.
Ostrander spent the first 10 years of his career at The Boeing Company and Egghead Software In 1995 Todd started ELEKOM Corp. where he was Founder and VP of Product and Services. ELEKOM Corp. was the first entrant into the e-Procurement market and was sold to Clarus in 1998 [NASDAQ:CLRS].
