Not sure if it's because of the end of summer or what but this week was huge for executive moves. Every executive on the list is either coming from or going to a big hitter in their industry. This week I am spotlighting Guy Churchward, the new CEO at LogLogic. Guy was previously VP, GM, Data Protection Group at NetApp and, prior to that, he was a GM of Engineering at BEA (acquired by Oracle). Guy takes over for Patricia Sueltz, who had been at the helm of LogLogic since 2007. With our Executive page crawler, we had captured Guy's move off of NetApp's executive page back in March, but it took until last week for him to show up at LogLogic.
