(By Richard Holway 4.00pm 19th May 09) When I wrote Exodus of EDS executives on 24th Apr 09, I clearly 'hit the nail on the head'. One of the very top EDS executives sent me a one word email. It read "Richard!"
Anyway, the exodus continues as Sean Finnan, UK CEO, is off to pastures new. I'll bring you news of his new role in a few days time. Craig Wilson is taking over as VP UK and Ireland. Craig is also VP of Application in EDS EMEA.
Although one expects leavers when a company is acquired, it is very worrying to see so much EDS talent and experience disappear. In many cases the senior positions are taken by HP executives. HP is/was predominately a products company and sees services as a way of selling more product. EDS was a 'services-led' company. As I have observed before, there seems to be an increased polarisation between the 'solutions/product-led' companies (IBM, HP/EDS, Fujitsu) and the 'services-led' companies (Capgemini, CSC, Accenture). Clearly a debate set to run and run as, like all good debating points, there is no one right answer!
