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.
