Top Ten for the week of 2/1/2010

Last week, we had our largest number of Executive moves ever. I have no real explanation for this, we aren't tracking that many more companies than we were the previous week.

I noticed some interesting moves by former Microsoft executives with Christine Heckart joining NetApp and Debra Chrabaty joining Cisco. Two very senior Microsoft executives jumping ship. We'll keep our eyes open to see if there are more in the coming weeks.
