When Compaq moves its newly acquired AltaVista Search Service to
California, one thing it won't be taking along is its top executive.
Robert Hult, AltaVista vice president and general manager, said he
won't be relocating to Palo Alto, Calif., home of AltaVista's technical
facilities. There are reports that other top managers are balking at the
move, too.
Consolidating AltaVista on one coast is among the first action items
taken by Compaq since its purchase of Digital Equipment was made
final in mid-June.
Houston-based Compaq (company profile) said it wants the 15
managers in Littleton, Mass., to join the engineering group in Palo
Alto, a staff of about 45 people. So far, there is no deadline on the
consolidation, a company spokesman said.
Hult has been with AltaVista for more than a year. |
