LAKEWOOD RANCH — Roper Technologies named Satish Maripuri Group Vice President, where he will be responsible for providing corporate leadership for several of the  diversified technology conglomerate’s software businesses.

Maripuri has 30 years of experience with enterprise, Software-as-a-Service and cloud software businesses.

“Paul joined Roper in 2002 and served as our controller for 15 years before assuming his current role,” adds Hunn. “On behalf of the entire Roper family, we would like to thank Paul for his many years of service and dedication, and we wish him and his family all the best in the future.”
