And Novell fills a gap left by another manager who quit

STEVEN King left the company quietly, in the sense that no press coverage accompanied his departure. Whether he quit or was fired is not known to us, but he has just been appointed Vice President in a smaller company called ManoVie (Utah based). From the press release:

Prior to joining MonaVie, King served in various leadership positions at Novell where he managed the global partner programs and developed training programs to help partners more efficiently run their businesses. He also helped transition that company’s business from an internal sales model to a partner led sales model.

Back in July we wrote about Rob Mills leaving Novell. His replacement has been found no less than 4 months later.

Alan Robinson is to lead Novell in Australia and New Zealand, replacing Rob Mills who resigned four months ago.

There is some more coverage of this in this less internationalised press (not IDG).

NOVELL has tapped IT veteran Alan Robinson to run its business in Australia and New Zealand, ending a search that lasted about four months after Rob Mills resigned.

Novell's staff retention issues were probably worse earlier this year (or last year). Might this be related to the economy? ⬆
