Company Executive and Industry Veteran to Guide Company Through Next Stage of Growth
Mountain View, CA, September 7, 2005 — Electric Cloud,
the software build infrastructure company, today announced the appointment
of Mike Maciag as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.
Previously the company’s Vice President of Marketing and
Business Development, Maciag has almost fifteen years of executive
management experience in public and private information and technology
companies. Former Chief Executive John Ousterhout remains Chairman
of the Electric Cloud Board of Directors.
“Mike is a great choice for the role of CEO for Electric
Cloud. He has shown tremendous leadership in driving our marketing
and business development initiatives, paving the way for recent
customer wins with blue-chip technology companies such as Qualcomm
and Intuit,” said John Ousterhout, Electric Cloud Chairman.
“So moving the business leadership responsibilities to Mike
is a natural transition, allowing me to spend more time on research
and development as our portfolio continues to expand.”
“Electric Cloud is transitioning from an early stage, technology-driven
startup to a rapidly growing, market-driven enterprise, and the
Board of Directors had been searching for an executive to drive
this evolution. Mike Maciag has the business acumen and proven ability
to take technology companies to the next level, and so he was our
unanimous choice for this role,” said Allen Morgan, Electric
Cloud Board Member and General Partner with The Mayfield Fund.
Morgan added, “Electric Cloud is one of a few fortunate companies
to have both a top flight Chief Executive and a visionary Chairman.”
Before coming to Electric Cloud Maciag was Vice President of Marketing
and Business Development at MS2, Inc., an enterprise software company
he founded where he established a new application category called
Product Lifecycle Automation (PLA). Prior to MS2, Maciag played
lead roles in establishing the Color Server market at Electronics
for Imaging and the Super Server Market at NetFrame Systems, Inc.
Market traction at both Electronics for Imaging and NetFrame Systems
led to successful public companies. In addition, Maciag served as
Executive Director of Corporate Development for Informix Software,
acquired by IBM in 2001. Mike holds a BS degree from Santa Clara
University as well as an MBA from Northwestern University's J.L.
Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
John Ousterhout, company founder and Chairman of the Board is also
the creator of the Tcl scripting language. Ousterhout is well known
for his work in distributed operating systems, high-performance
file systems, and user interfaces. With Mike Maciag’s new
role, Ousterhout will be redoubling his work on the company’s
innovative build technologies, working closely with Vice President
of Engineering Anders Wallgren to help enterprises break through
the build bottleneck and streamline build processes in leading software
development organizations.
