CASSATT CORP NAMES RICHARD GREEN
EVP OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Cassatt Corp, an enterprise infrastructure software start-up headed by BEA
co-founder and former CEO Bill Coleman, named Richard Green executive vice
president of Product Development. Green, who will lead global development
efforts at Cassatt, joins the company from Sun Microsystems Inc where he
served most recently as vice president of Sun Developer Platforms and Java
Software.
Green has been involved in the software industry for more than 20 years. He
held a number of key positions during his 14-year career at Sun, including
vice president of Java and XML software and vice president of the Solaris
Products Group. Green has led product development strategy, business model
creation and R&D at Sun. He also has extensive experience managing
international teams—he started Sun India, and was responsible for Sun's
engineering operations in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Israel and Russia.
"I have known Rich since our days together at Sun and I have followed his
many
successes," said Coleman. "He brings a wealth of world-class expertise in
software development for the enterprise that is crucial to helping our
customers get the most value out of their technology infrastructure
investment. We're excited to have him as part of our team."
"Cassatt represents a fantastic opportunity for me to tackle a vital and
unaddressed challenge facing the future of enterprise architecture," said
Green. "I'm also delighted to be working again with Bill and the strong
executive team he has assembled."
In addition, Cassatt's executive vice president Steve Oberlin has been
promoted to Chief Scientist. Oberlin, chief architect of the original CRAY T3D
and T3E systems, massively parallel processing systems that are widely
recognized as the most efficient highly-scalable production computers ever
built, will focus on core technologies that assist customers and strategic
partners with scale-out Grid computing initiatives.
