VMware’s COO of products and cloud services, Raghu Raghuram, will take over as the company’s new CEO at the start of June.
He has been with the company since 2003 and replaces Pat Gelsinger, who left the business earlier this year to be Intel’s new supreme Dalek.
“VMware is uniquely poised to lead the multi-cloud computing era with an end-to-end software platform spanning clouds, the data centre and the edge, helping to accelerate our customers’ digital transformations/ I am honoured, humbled and excited to have been chosen to lead this company to a new phase of growth. We have enormous opportunity, we have the right solutions, the right team, and we will continue to execute with focus, passion, and agility”, Raghuram said.
Raghuram has helped drive VMware’s direction in areas like its core visualisation business, software-defined data strategy, SAAS transformation and in mergers and acquisitions.
