The business was initially managed by Andrew Beveridge who promoted Shaun McCallaghan to CEO in 2018, himself having been at eCOGRA since 2008. Shaun and his management team will continue to lead the business going forward, and in Hanover have found a great partner to support the business as it continues to grow and services its clients on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the shareholders of eCOGRA, I am delighted with the outcome of the transaction.
