Before becoming CTO, Bosch was executive VP of product operations -- until Bregman joined Veritas in February 2002. After that, Bregman, part of Bloom's new team, was given the job. In fact, Bregman, formerly of IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) and Airmedia, a wireless technology firm, was generally thought to be in charge of technology direction at Veritas (see Mark Bregman, EVP of Product Operations, Veritas Software).
Now, it looks as if Bregman's finally alone at the top of product planning at Veritas. Bosch is on his way to startup-land, though queries on specifics have met with no reply.
Veritas isn't alone in its management machinations. The storage networking market is heating up, giving many a company exec the itch to be king or queen of his or her own startup castle (see Cisco Storage VP Heads for ONStor, Former Brocade Exec Joins Voltaire, and Former EMC Exec Joins Sepaton). At the same time, established players view product planning as the key to future sales, putting enormous pressure on execs in top spots.
There's also the predictable wish of chief executives to surround themselves with a hand-picked group -- which extends to consolidating leadership when someone like Bosch leaves. As Tom Curlin states, "In fairness to Bloom, he has every right to build his own team."
