Story was CFO at Manhattan Associates, a software company, for a decade.

Manhattan said in a written statement this afternoon that Story will be leaving “to pursue personal and other business interests,” but will continue as CFO through June 30.

A little while later, a press release came from Benefitfocus, Inc. of Charleston that Story will become CFO on July, succeeding Milt Alpern who retired March 31.
