Late last month, Progress Software announced Rick Reidy had been appointed as the new president and CEO. Joe Alsop is stepping down to allow Rick to take the leadership and will exit the board of directors when his term runs out.
Rick has been with Progress since very early on, has been a part of OpenEdge most of that time, he helped build EMEA, and more recently led the DataDirect and development at Apama. So, Rick comes from the long-standing Progress 4GL / database side of the business, knows development well and has experience with APs, how Progress works outside North America, and has recent experience with some of the new acquisitions.
That strong understanding and history with the OpenEdge side should bode well for us Application Partners. We should expect that as Rick helps Progress Software chart it's course for the coming years, the perspective of the APs will be taken into careful consideration.
No doubt you've got a daunting task ahead of you, Rick. Here's to your (and our) success!
