Linspire executives exodus?
According to multiple sources close to Linux distributor Linspire, former CEO Kevin Carmony was not the only executive to leave Linspire at the end of July. Sources say that Chad Olson, the company's CFO, and other high-ranking officials including the comptroller and the head of the Linux engineering team had also left by July 31.
Linux-Watch has made numerous attempts in the last week to get either a formal confirmation or a denial of these rumored executive changes from Linspire and its founder and primary owner, Michael Robertson, without success. The new Linspire CEO and president, Larry Kettler, had no comment on these rumors except to say that Linspire is focusing on its recent release of Freespire 2.0 and the imminent release of Linspire's multi-Linux distribution software update and management system, CNR.com.
Kettler has been with Linspire since 2001 and served as vice president of worldwide sales and marketing before his promotion. It is not known, who, if anyone, has been moved into the other positions.
