San Ramon, CA. March 8, 2007 – The LGES specialized practice for Sales, Marketing and Business Development is pleased to announce the following recent sales leadership placement. Of particular note is that the search was completed in less than two months.
Greg Chapman, Senior Vice President of America’s Sales
Greg joined Daon from Oracle Corporation, where he spent 17 years in multiple executive positions. In his last role, he served as Group Vice President of North America Public Sector Technology, directing a business unit covering the United States and Canada with revenue goals exceeding $500 million and targeted sales goals exceeding $250 million in net new license sales. His customers included the Federal government, State & Local government, Intelligence Community, Higher Education, K-12, and Healthcare.

Daon’s CEO Tom Grissen states, “Daon recently selected Patrick Arnone and LGES to lead a search for the SVP of America’s Sales at Daon. Filling this position with an “A” caliber candidate represented one of the most important decisions of the year for us and we set the “bar” high. Patrick screened a multitude of candidates and brought forward the best for interviews. He assessed skills, attitude, potential, and chemistry of all candidates to determine the “fit” with Daon’s culture. With each candidate he provided personalized briefs that gave insights far beyond those gleaned from resumes. All of the finalists were “A” players representing the caliber sought by Daon. Finally, Patrick provided continual feedback, hit every interim milestone and Daon successfully concluded this search in less than 60 days. As a CEO, I could not ask for more in regards to the attention to our needs, the screening of the candidates, the caliber of the candidates and the follow through on all steps resulting in a successful hire.”
