Top Ten for the week of 3/1/2010
One thing that I found interesting about last week's executive moves was that, while we had one of the biggest move counts since we started the Pulse blog, this was the first week with no new CEOs added from external hires. There were CEOs that were removed from executive pages, but they were all replaced by internal promotions. Turnhere and Leapfrog both promoted someone that was previously on the executive team to CEO. I don't track title changes for the blog because it would end up being 20 pages long, but I do track them in my database.
Last week, NetStreams acquired by ClearOne. Tele Atlas North America acquired by TomTom. GotVoice was acquired by Spoken back in October 2009 and this week the executive page for GotVoice now contains all Spoken execs.
