Egenera Changes CEOs Again

A Twitter tweet claims the company is shy a bunch of other folks

Nov. 20, 2009 03:00 PM

Egenera, the very first company to build a blade system meant to handle peaks and valleys, has reportedly had another purge. It's now on its fourth CEO with CTO and EVP of engineering Pete Manca replacing Mike Thompson and product marketer Ken Oestreich in as its latest marketing VP. A Twitter tweet claims the company is shy a bunch of other folks. It did not return a call. Egenera has been trying to morph from a hardware company into an ISV based on PAN, its infrastructure management and orchestration software, which Dell OEMs for its blade-based Datacenter-in-a-Box and its Pan System.

Egenera Changes CEOs Again

kennyo wrote: Actually, Egenera's CEO is staying on as Board chairman. As the company transitions to be a multi-platform player, the feeling is to have management who are experts about software, the converged infrastructure market, and familiar with the players in the space. Ergo the new CEO, and ergo the new levels of backing from investors. The company is still hiring in its field and OEM spaces, and in conversations with multiple IHV partners.
