Here's some update from Kodak on Jesse's departure, looks good for CPQ:
Loss for Kodak
Kodak hired Unisys Corp.'s Robert Brust as CFO in December and he began his duties in January, allowing Greene to devote himself full time to the strategy job. ``From Kodak's perspective, they're losing a good, talented player,' said B. Alex Henderson, a Prudential Securities analyst who has an ``accumulate' rating on Kodak. ``I don't think anybody's going to blame him for taking a shot at the CFO job at Compaq, particularly because he was passed over for the same job at Kodak.'
Kodak said Greene's departure was a surprise. The Rochester, New York-based company will conduct both an internal and external search to replace him. Brust will take over Greene's duties during the search. ``Jesse Greene is a talented individual and a capable financial executive,' Kodak Chief Executive Dan Carp said through a spokesman. ``He has made important contributions to Kodak and we wish him great success in his new role.' |
