Most recently, COO from Pros Holdings from February 2014, Crump, who is based in the United States, will report to Sage CEO Stephen Kelly, who is based in England.

Crump was president of Salesforce.com from February 2012 through January 2014. The Salesforce link is important as Crump is using Salesforce products as a platform, in particularly for its Sage Live. At that company, Crump led the global enterprise business, reporting to CEO and founder Marc Benioff.

Sage has significantly shifted executive roles under Kelley. Instead of employing a CEO of Sage North America, the operations on this continent are headed by president Marc Scheipe.

Sage also named Vicki Bradin to the company's executive committee as general counsel, replacing Michael Robinson who is retiring on September 30. That same day, Brendan Flattery, president of Europe, will leave the company. With Sage since 2003, Flattery assumed his current duties in February 2015. Prior to that, he was CEO of Sage's United Kingdom and Ireland operations.
