Here is the scoop on why I am leaving McGladrey…Given the recent $600 million transaction that McGladrey completed this fall, there have been some resulting changes – one of which is a significant restructuring. As a result, I was informed recently that “my position has been eliminated”. This is the reality of the economics of large company transactions… I feel good about leaving on the heels of my recent sales performance of 111% of quota for last year and 108% of an even larger quota through three quarters of this year… After having one of the most successful years in my business life in 2011, I find myself looking toward new challenges… I will let you know my next move as soon as things are finalized.
