EnterpriseDB co-founder and CEO Andy Astor has stepped aside so Ed Boyajian, brought in from Red Hat, can take the four-year-old company to the proverbial next level, they said.
He’s not by background a database guy, but Fidelity Ventures, an EnterpriseDB backer, prizes him for his deep experience with open source software – before Red Hat he was VP, services and marketing at ArsDigita, the open source collaborative ISV Red Hat acquired – and for “his focus on driving revenues and building brands.” He intends to focus on the enterprise developer, he said, wooing them to the company’s open source Postgres Plus for new architectures, new projects and new applications and playing to the widening gap between enterprise business demands and the IT budget. EnterpriseDB currently claims 100 employees and 300 customers.

Andy has done a terrific job as a leader, co-founder and president / ceo to drive success of the company during its 4 years and phases of development. The commentator that describes people as "idiots" and "incompetent" under some bogus name deserve no respect. Give me a break! |
