We had a ton of moves since last Monday, 112 moves in the approximately 2000 companies we track. Some really great additions and some interesting subtractions. I don't comment on the executive page removals because I don't know the reasons behind the removals. In one case two weeks ago, an executive had died.
One of the most interesting additions this week is Edward Walsh, new CEO at Storwize. We've been following Mr Walsh for more than a decade now and he has had great success as CEO. His two most recent companies were acquired (Avamar by EMC and Virtual Iron by Oracle). He is definitely a huge score for Storwize and I am sure that their investors are pleased. Whether or not Mr Walsh can continue his hot streak at Storwize remains to be seen, but we'll be watching!
