Rackspace Pulls eBay Veep Mark Roenigk for COO Slot
A major executive hire was made today, as Rackspace today brought on a new COO in ex-eBay veep Mark Roenigk. Roenigk will be reporting to Rackspace president and CEO Lanham Napier, and has been tasked with helping to build up the “computing platform on which all our services run,” according to Napier.
Roenigk has a long history at other companies, coming from an engineering background, starting at companies like Compaq and Microsoft. During his time at Microsoft, he fast-tracked his rise to the ranks of senior management from 1995 to 2004, when he left to join Intuit as the vice president of “Supply Chain Operations.”
Based on his track record and the long laundry list of projects he’s worked on at various corporate giants, it’ll be interesting to see which elements of his experience he brings to bear.
