Suse's Geck joins Exchange competitor
Published: 02 Apr 2007 10:10 BST
Open-Xchange, an open source software company angling to cut into the Microsoft Exchange market, announced two new top executives on Monday.
Gerald Labie, who had been chief executive of CXO Systems and chief operating officer of Novadigm, now is Open-Xchange's chief executive. He replaces co-founder Frank Hoberg, who now is general manager of European operations.
Labie will be the first Open-Xchange chief executive based in the United States; Hoberg was based in Germany.
In addition, the company announced it hired as chief technology officer Juergen Geck, who had been chief technology officer of Novell's Suse Linux software but left one year ago.
Open-Xchange's server software handles email, contacts and calendars. The company sells it both to companies that use it on their own and to internet service providers such as 1&1 Internet that offer it to their customers as service.
