ROCK HILL, SC, March 30, 2022 — Strategic Information Group (“Strategic” or the “Company”), the award-winning provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, services, and support, today announced the further promotion of President, Suzy Reno, who will now have the additional title of Chief Executive Officer.

The move is retroactive to January 1, 2022, and caps off a stellar year for Reno, who took over as President on January 1, 2021.  The Company’s current CEO, Doug Novak, began transitioning to his role as Chairman of the Board in 2021, closing out a well-planned and successful leadership transition.

“Suzy is an industry veteran whose accomplishments speak for themselves,” said Novak.  “She has led the Company’s strong performance in one of the most challenging business climates we’ve seen in recent memory.  Importantly, Suzy not only led Strategic in net-new market expansion to Scandinavia but also ensured our customers, employees, and partners had what they needed to thrive.  Further, she led the development and implementation of corporate strategies and headed up an experienced leadership team.  I could not leave Strategic in more capable hands.”  As President and CEO, Reno will continue to drive operations towards fulfilling the Company’s vision and mission, while continuing her operational leadership of Strategic.

Reno joined Strategic in 2011 as a Solutions Architect and has risen through the Company’s ranks ever since, formerly serving on the executive team as the Senior Vice President of Solutions Architecture and as the Company’s President.  Before joining Strategic, Reno served as a Senior Solutions Engineer and Consultant at RCM Technologies, CFO at Tsunami Sourcing, and a Business Unit Manager at RBX Industries.  This broad corporate foundation, coupled with her consistent outperformance at Strategic, made her ascension to CEO a well-earned promotion that will position the Company for its next stage of growth.

“I am very honored to be named President and CEO of Strategic,” stated President Suzy Reno.  “I am blessed to be surrounded by an amazing team of talented executives and industry professionals.  We have achieved tremendous growth and success over the last several years, and I look forward to leading the Strategic team as we continue to grow and build upon the legacy Doug has passed on to me.” 

The role change became effective as of January 1, 2022.

“Strategic has long followed a decentralized operational model, enabling us to optimize our talent and best serve the needs of our customers and partners,” said Suzy Reno, President, Strategic Information Group. “This move is part of a larger realignment of our office spaces, which I’m pleased to announce also includes our global expansion to Ireland, the United Kingdom, India and Thailand in recent years.”

With the headquarters move, the current Cardiff-by-the-Sea office will be closed. Customers are advised to note the new office address and phone number and to continue sending payments to the company lock box, or alternatively, use ACH:

Strategic Information Group
454 Anderson Road South
Suite 162, Mailbox 603
Rock Hill, SC 29730

Phone: +1 (803) 327 4636

Strategic now operates out of 10 offices across the globe. In North America, Strategic has offices in Rock Hill, South Carolina; Redwood City, California; Fishers, Indiana; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Novi, Michigan; and Ontario, Canada. Globally, Strategic has office presence in Dublin, Ireland; Birmingham, United Kingdom; Kalyan Thane, India; and Amphur Plaeng Yao, Thailand.

“Suzy is a tremendous talent who brings a breadth of invaluable experiences to her role as President,” said Doug Novak, CEO. “Her leadership skills and unmatched business acumen make her an outstanding selection to serve as the next President of Strategic Information Group.”

The separation of the CEO and President titles, that Novak currently holds, will free him to focus more intently on driving organizational strategy and leading the transition plan to enable Reno’s success. This succession planning will ensure Strategic’s future remains bright as Novak steps into an ownership role in the future.

Reno joined Strategic in 2011 as a Solutions Architect, and has risen through company ranks ever since, formerly serving on the executive team as the Senior Vice President of Solutions Architecture. Prior to joining Strategic Information Group, Reno was a Senior Solutions Engineer and Consultant at RCM Technologies, a Business Unit Manager and Supply Chain Manager at RBX Industries, a Product Manager and Plant Controller at Duff Norton, and started her professional career as an Accountant with KPMG. It is this broad corporate foundation that made her new role as President an attractive challenge.

“I am honored to take over the Presidency of Strategic,” added Suzy Reno, President. “I am blessed to be surrounded by an amazing team of talented executives and industry professionals. We have achieved tremendous growth and success over the last several years, and I look forward to leading the Strategic team as we continue to grow and build upon the legacy Doug has turned over to me.”

The role change became effective as of January 1, 2021.

Customers will benefit from QAD’s next generation, cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software applications combined with technology-related consulting services delivered through Strategic.

QAD and Strategic also have a reseller partnership agreement in North America. For the past 27 years, QAD and Strategic have provided a consultative, collaborative approach that enables customers to benefit from the optimum combination of enterprise technologies and specialized services.

QAD and Strategic work with startups, multinationals and market leaders in the manufacturing arena, with particular strengths in industries including Life Sciences, Industrial, High Tech, Automotive, Food and Beverage and Consumer Products. Through the software’s adaptability and a consultative approach, both organizations have been able to help emerging Life Sciences and Medical Device customers grow effectively as they develop their businesses from early stages to full production.

QAD SVP EMEA Steve Gardner said, “I am excited by this partnership, which will drive our expansion plans in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. We already have a number of customers in this region and the partnership is very timely as QAD is enhancing our next generation QAD Adaptive ERP solution powered by the QAD Enterprise Platform.”

“Our team is enthusiastically eager to take on this opportunity to demonstrate the value our partnership with QAD brings,” said Strategic CEO Doug Novak. “We are thrilled with the quality of local people we’ve been able to hire, and are quickly building out our local sales and support teams to deliver comprehensive, full-service sales and support locally in Ireland.”
