Top Ten for the week of 3/15/2010

Last week, Oracle added several former Sun executives to their executive page. Several months ago, I noted the migration away from companies that had received bailout money from the government and the difficulty that they were having attracting new executives. Bank of America ended up paying all of the bailout money back, nearly $20 Billion for a new CEO. I already cover several Insurance companies with my Executive update crawler and will work to add as many as I can find over the coming weeks to see what kind of impact the new Healthcare bill will have on them.
