Progress Software Corp., which provides software to create and deploy business applications, has promoted an in-house veteran to succeed a chief legal officer who is stepping aside for disability-related reasons.

YuFan Stephanie Wang joined Burlington, Massachusetts-based Progress in May as deputy general counsel. A month later, she became acting general counsel, filling in for Stephen Faberman on an interim basis so that he could “attend to a disability,” according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
