    Sage chairman to step down

    Sage chairman to step down

    Vodafone man to take chairman's seat when Jackson steps down

    Author Date published February 6, 2006 Categories

    Michael Jackson is to step down from his chairmanship of FTSE100 software
    provider Sage, according to reports in the press this morning.

    The Daily Telegraph reports that Jackson’s post is to be taken by
    outgoing Vodafone deputy chief executive Sir Julian Horn-Smith, with a formal
    announcement taking place at Sage’s annual general meeting on 2 March.

    Jackson’s appointment last year to the chairmanship of online poker company
    PartyGaming has reportedly prompted concerns among shareholders of both
    companies about his ability to work both jobs.
