ScanSource Appoints President, Specialty Technologies
ScanSource Inc., a technology distributor that addresses complex, converging technologies, has named Mark Morgan as President, Specialty Technologies.
In the role, Morgan will continue to advance the Greenville-based company’s focus on delivering customized, converging solutions to a growing ecosystem of channel partners.
Morgan has been instrumental in helping ScanSource evolve from a traditional hardware distributor to a company that works with hardware, software, cloud and connectivity, according to a press release.
Since joining the company in 2003 as Vice President of Sales for the Barcode and Mobility business, Morgan has held several leadership roles, including Vice President of Sales for the former communications business, President of Intelisys, and President of Global Strategy.
During his leadership in the communications business, he guided the shift from traditional voice and data technologies toward networking, collaboration and cloud-based services-oriented solutions.
He also helped vet and complete the acquisitions of Intelisys, RPM, intY (Channel Exchange) and Resourcive. The acquisitions expanded ScanSource’s capabilities and opened new routes to market for partners.
Morgan’s leadership and experience will help partners capture new opportunities, including ScanSource’s strategy to accelerate the growth of its Converged Sales Team and the Specialty business, according to the press statement.
“Mark has played a central role in ScanSource’s growth and transformation for more than two decades. He brings together strategy, sales and operational strength in a way that makes him the right leader for our Specialty Technologies business,” said Mike Baur, Chairman and CEO, ScanSource Inc.
Morgan will continue to report to Baur.
Tony Sorrentino resigned his position as President, North American Specialty Segment, at ScanSource after 26 years.
ScanSource Inc. accelerates growth for channel sales partners and enables them to deliver converging solutions for their end users. Founded in 1992, ScanSource is headquartered in Greenville.
Countybank Names Vice President
The Countybank Board of Directors has appointed James Owens as a Vice President.
Owens, who joined Countybank in 2005, serves as Bank Secrecy Act Officer. In this role, he and his team work to protect customers and the community from financial crimes such as fraud, money laundering and identity theft.
He also ensures that bank operations comply with federal legislation that requires financial institutions to detect and prevent money laundering and report suspicious activity.
Beyond compliance, he helps to implement safeguards to strengthen the bank’s security framework and modernize the bank’s data management systems.
“James’ efforts to detect and prevent financial crimes are invaluable. In a community like ours, where relationships matter and trust is everything, the role of the BSA Officer is more than regulatory. It’s personal,” said Annette Scott, Chief Financial Officer.
Owens is also a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist and a Certified AML and Fraud Professional. He lives in Pendleton.

Greenville Symphony Spotlights Contemporary American Music
The Greenville Symphony Orchestra will present contemporary orchestral expression, The Last Five Years: American Music Now, at 7:30 p.m. March 28 and at 3 p.m. March 29 at the Gunter Theatre in Downtown Greenville.
Led by the orchestra’s Music Director, Lee Mills, the program brings together four works that explore imagination, memory, identity and belonging.
The evening opens with Clarice Assad’s “Circus Fantasia,” which bursts with the color, motion and playful unpredictability of a circus.
Katherine Balch’s “Music For Young Water That Danced Beneath My Feet” has a delicate, immersive sound with shimmering textures and inventive percussion to evoke the movement of water. Balch will introduce her work from the stage at both performances.
“Contemporary music can be every bit as immediate, moving and exhilarating as the works audiences already know and love,” Mills said.
“Each piece offers a distinct voice and perspective, and together they create an evening that feels adventurous, richly human and unmistakably of this moment.”
The evening will continue with the world premiere of “The Western Gospel,” by Ivan Enrique Rodriguez.
The work reflects tradition, collective memory and the musical language through which people understand identity, certainty and belonging. Rodriguez will introduce his piece at both performances.
After an intermission, Seth Russell – principal cello of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra – will join the program for Lembit Beecher’s “Tell Me Again,” a cello concerto shaped by family history, migration and stories across generations.
“This program is thoughtful, surprising and full of discovery — the kind of concert that invites listeners to hear something new and connect with it deeply,” said Jessica Satava, Executive Director of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra.
Audiences are invited to attend the free Counterpoint Panel for The Last Five Years: American Music Now from 1 to 2:30 p.m. March 27 at Gunter Theatre. Registration for the panel is required at greenvillesymphony.org.
Tickets to the concert start at $44 and are available at greenvillesymphony.org, by phone at (864) 467-3000, or at the Peace Center Box Office.
