Gemini version available ♊︎Dan Bulucea, Business and Marketing Director of Microsoft Romania, Escapes and Enters Google
Summary: Răzvan Sandu alerts us that yet another Microsoft executive becomes an executive at Google (a direct rival of Microsoft)
A COUPLE of weeks ago we came to realise that the head of Microsoft Romania jumps ship after scandals some of which we covered in posts such as:
- In Romania, “Marketing and GNU/Linux FUD is Everything for Microsoft”; Latest Propaganda Comes From Călin Tatomir
- Microsoft and Romania: Follow the Money
- More Dirty Deals in Europe Involve Microsoft, Microsoft Lobbies
- Ballot Stuffer from Redmond Stuffs Another FOSS Conference (Romania)
- Quick Mention: It’s Romania’s Turn for Microsoft’s OOXML Stacking
- Microsoft ‘Vampires’ Suck Blood of Romania’s OOXML Voters, Supporters
That departure of the #1 man at Microsoft Romania is soon accompanied by the departure of a deputy, Dan Bulucea, which sources from Romania (primarily Adrian Seceleanu) say is leaving for Google Romania. To quote the original via Răzvan Sandu (shown in the photo above):
Dan Bulucea, ex Microsoft Romania, seful reprezentantei Google Romania
Or as Sandu interpreted this:
Hello! #Entrysm: Mr. Dan Bulucea, ex Microsoft Romania, becomes chief of #Google #Romania http://is.gd/gEDS8
Those major Microsoft departures may indeed mean that influential people from Microsoft will have an impact on Microsoft rivals. Google has already absorbed a lot of people from Microsoft and we wrote about it before (critically in fact because it’s an HR problem). █
