Bill Harris from Intuit lands a new job:

X.com names former Intuit brass its CEO

Bill Harris, former chief executive officer of Intuit, has joined financial services site X.com as its CEO.

Harris, who announced last September he was leaving Intuit to pursue an entrepreneurial opportunities, will replace Elon Musk as CEO. Musk, a company founder, will stay on as chairman and oversee product development.

X.com has developed an Internet platform to integrate consumer banking and investment services. The company is funded by Sequoia Capital, which has served as its lead investor. The company plans to launch its public site later this week.

Harris, who was placed at X.com by recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles, oversaw the relaunch of Intuit's Quicken.com and helped shift its focus to Internet services, which now account for roughly 20 percent of its revenues.

When Harris resigned, Intuit's chairman Bill Campbell took over the daily operations until a successor is found. The company has said it is seeking a new chief executive from outside the company.

>>All those who are watching CKFR bask in the 80s, but sold in the 50s please raise their hands with me.

I sold half at 55. I am somewhere between punishing myself for leaving 25 points on the table, and congratulating myself for not selling the other half.

I just hope the people who have been around here forever didn't sell all their shares. It's been a rough ride that's finally smoothing out.

Congrats to all longs!
