Ken Snuggs and I have successfully sold and exited CA Holdings as Co Chairman. We are so very proud of the team and relationships we have formed over the decades. The current management team lead by Joe Corbett and the other partners purchased our shares. It was a great "win-win" and I am very excited about the future of Cumberland Group and Abacus Solutions who was acquired by Fresche Solutions.

CA Holdings was formed in 2014 when Cumberland Group was spun out of Abacus Solutions. CA Holdings is a technology portfolio company that owns 100% both Cumberland Group and Abacus Solutions.

Cumberland Group was specifically formed to help our clients address the challenges of this transformation.Cumberland Group sits at the intersection of management consulting firms and technology manufacturers, VARs, and SIs. We partner with our clients to align business strategy with technology strategy by providing the solutions, integration, and transformation services to facilitate organizational objectives.We focus on delivering the Advice, Integration, and Solutions necessary to successfully navigate the transformation from traditional IT service models into highly agile, dynamic, cloud-enabled business service providers.

My primary responsibility as a Senior Account Executive was selling IBM systems to a variety of clients. Sun Data changed its name to Solarcom in the mid '90s and was eventually purchased by Presidio in 2007. This was my first "real" job after college and a great place to learn the business.
