Top Ten for the week of 3/22/2010

Last week, there were around 20 less moves than we normally track, but there were still some interesting additions. Dave Duffield's company, Workday, added another former Peoplesoft exec to their team (Mark Nittler as VP Applications Strategy). Probably the most interesting addition was for eMeter, who added Gary Bloom as their new CEO. Gary was CEO at Veritas when they were acquired by Symantec and served as President at Symantec after the acquisition. Before that he served as EVP at Oracle. Another successful high tech executive crossing over into the green energy space. I am sure there are more to follow.
