Managed by Q focuses on using technology to help businesses manage services and workplace tasks, something Eden has competed with it for in the past.

The company has also replaced several of its executives and just announced Monday that former oil executive Kimberly Ross would be its new chief financial officer. [Bloomberg] — Eddie Small
