John Wallis, formerly head of EMEA sales for SunGard Data Management Solutions, has departed the vendor for pastures new. He came into the SunGard fold when the software giant acquired Fame Information Services in late 2003. Wallis’s departure follows the ejection from SunGard late last year of high profile EDM figures Marc Odho and Rob Ord (who since hooked up with another ex-SunGard data man, Dale Richards, in his LakeFront Data Ventures business) (Reference Data Review, December 2006 and February 2007).
