February s game of musical CEO chairs continued today with the appointment of Stephen DeWitt as boss of DevOps darling CloudBees.
DeWitt replaces co-founder Sacha Labourey. Labourey will take up the position of chief strategy officer and remain on both the board and exec team.
The move comes on the eve of Labourey s 11th anniversary with the company, having formerly served time at Red Hat and JBoss. DeWitt will be familiar to many from his days as CEO of Cobalt Networks, a company acquired by Sun Microsystems at the height of the dotcom boom.
