KENDALL NAMED AS CIO FOR LOS ALAMOS LABORATORY

Los Alamos, N.M. — Richard Kendall has been named as the first chief information officer at the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory. In his new job, Kendall will develop, promote and help direct an integrated vision for information management across the Laboratory. Information management includes the business practices surrounding the use of information to achieve the goals of the enterprise, the infrastructure that delivers the information and the oversight of the mechanisms that safeguard its integrity and security, according to Kendall. “Information management is a vital component of Los Alamos’ continued world-class scientific research and development efforts,” said Bill Press, deputy director for science, technology and programs. “Richard will help define and implement a strategic vision for information management for the Laboratory.”

Added Laboratory Director John Browne, “Because the world today is increasingly fast paced and information driven, it’s important we have someone who can chart our institutional course for implementing appropriate, cutting-edge information technologies and systems. I have great confidence Richard will provide the guidance and vision we need to create an information management program that helps us achieve our mission goals, lets us flourish scientifically within an architecture that meets our stringent security requirements and improves our operations and business practices.” Though some of the functions of CIO have been performed informally, the appointment to the Director’s Office of this full-time position acknowledges the importance of the position for the Laboratory, said Kendall, who has been at Los Alamos since 1995.

Placing the chief information officer in the Director’s Office reporting to Press also will ensure responsiveness both to the senior executive team and the line organizations, Kendall noted, adding that in appointing a CIO position, the Lab is following a government-wide trend. “One of the initial goals of the office will be to work with the senior management to help formulate the proper organizational setting for the chief information officer that will help ensure that information is managed as an enterprise asset,” said Kendall. “The Laboratory’s business and security divisions, for example, each have responsibility for information management. But the CIO will provide a global view to ensure information resources are used with greatest effectiveness in fulfilling the Laboratory’s mission and operations.” Kendall joined Los Alamos’ Geoanalysis Group in 1995. In 1996, he became director of Los Alamos’ Virtual Laboratory Testbed for Industry, which provides industry access to the Laboratory’s computing environment. Since 1999 Kendall has been program manager for technical cyber security in Los Alamos’ former Computing, Information and Communications Division, directing the technical implementation of Los Alamos’ cyber security enhancements mandated by the Laboratory, the DOE and Congress.

LUCENT NAMES NEW CEO TELECOM EQUIPMENT MAKER

New York, N.Y. — Following a spate of earnings warnings, Lucent Technologies Inc. Monday named Henry Schacht to take over as chairman and chief executive officer, replacing Richard McGinn. Schacht was Lucent’s initial CEO from 1995 to 1997, after the company was spun off from AT&T. He will act as the interim top executive as the company searches for a permanent replacement. “…The board felt a different set of skills was required at this point in the company’s life,” Franklin Thomas, Lucent’s senior director, representing the board, said in a statement. The telecom equipment maker also warned Monday that it expects pro forma revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to decline about 7 percent and pro forma earnings per share from continuing operations to break even. The consensus analyst estimate called for Lucent to earn 23 cents a share, compared with 33 cents a share a year ago, according to First Call.

Murray Hill, N.J.-based Lucent also moved up the release of its fiscal fourth-quarter results to after Monday’s stock market close; it originally was slated for release on Tuesday. Schacht retired as chairman and CEO of Cummins Engine Co. in 1995, after 31 years with that company, and became chairman and CEO of Lucent. He stepped down as CEO in 1997 and retired from Lucent as chairman in 1998. In March, Schacht was tapped as chairman of the Lucent spin off, Avaya, Inc. He will continue as a member of the Avaya board but will step down immediately as top executive. J.P. Morgan analyst Greg Geiling told CNNfn.com the management shakeup was not unexpected and that investors should react favorably to the former CEO’s appointment. And even though Lucent warned a few weeks ago of the fourth-quarter shortfall, the 7 percent announced Monday was more than he anticipated. Christin Armacost of SG Cowen also regarded Lucent’s executive shuffle as a positive and necessary change and was also surprised by the announced 7 percent revision, since she had estimated only 5 percent. Still, Armacost rates Lucent, one of the most widely held stocks in the market, as a “buy” for long-term investors. “It will take many, many years to unwind, but we wouldn’t count Lucent out, even with some of these problems,” Armacost said.

During Mr. McGinn’s three-year tenure as chief executive, Lucent went from a fast-growing Wall Street darling to a source of concern among many investors after it did not meet optimistic growth promises. Each financial quarter this year, the company has had to warn that earnings would be lower than analysts had expected – a string that was extended yesterday, when Lucent warned that not only earnings, but revenue, would decline in the quarter that ends in December. After the stock market’s close, Lucent said revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2001, which ends in December, would decline by about 7 percent from $7.9 billion in the period a year earlier, while earnings from operations would break even at about $1.08 billion. The company said the revised expectations reflected difficulties it had had in rolling out a new generation of optical networking equipment that allowed large amounts of digital information to be transmitted using a single wavelength of light. Lucent’s stock has declined by 72 percent from a high of $79.58 only 10 months ago. The company’s shares fell 56 cents, to $22.06 yesterday. With 5.3 million shareholders, Lucent is among the most widely held stocks in the United States.

TARANTELLA APPOINTS NEW VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING

Santa Cruz, CALIF. — Tarantella, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc., announced that it has named Dennis Adams as its Vice President of Marketing. Adams comes to Tarantella with over 20 years of marketing and management experience in the high tech industry. Most recently, Dennis was at Amdahl Corporation where he played a key role in driving industry vertical marketing and thin-client marketing programs, plus strategic enterprise sales and field marketing programs. “Our primary business objective is to rapidly grow our share of the web-enabling software market,” said Mike Orr, president of Tarantella, Inc. “Dennis brings a wealth of experience that will significantly enhance our marketing skills and make a major contribution to our success. I have worked alongside Dennis on several occasions in the past, and have great confidence that his passion, intellect and focus will have an immediate, positive impact on the growth of the Tarantella business.”

“Joining Tarantella, Inc. at this time provides me with an opportunity to take the company to the next level of visibility in the web-enabling software market,” said Adams. “I look forward to building on the progress made by the Tarantella marketing team over the past year, and helping to ensure that enterprise organizations understand the power and value of Tarantella software.” Adams assumes his new role immediately. Dennis holds BS and MS degrees from Purdue University, and is married with three children.

SCHROCK OUT AS ALTAVISTA CEO

San Diego, CALIF. — Rod Schrock has resigned as chief executive of Internet portal AltaVista. In a prepared statement issued by CMGI Inc., which owns a majority stake in the Web portal, Shrock did not say why he was leaving. Schrock, who joined AltaVista about a year ago, said in the statement only that he wished “to move on to other milestones” in his career and spend more time with his family. His departure becomes effective immediately. AltaVista said it had initiated a search to find a replacement CEO.

Schrock’s departure comes as AltaVista is shifting its business model from a broad-based Internet portal to one focused more narrowly on Internet search services. The company recently slashed 25 percent of its staff in an effort to accelerate its path to profitability.

TURBOLINUX CHAIRMAN LEAVES FOR STORAGE START-UP

San Diego, CALIF. — TurboLinux chairman and co-founder Cliff Miller has stepped down to create a start-up focusing on storing other companies’ data. Miller now is chief executive of Mountain View Data, a company that will sell storage services on the open-source InterMezzo file storage software. Miller handed the TurboLinux CEO reins to Paul Thomas in June amid layoffs at the company. Thomas also is now chairman of TurboLinux, one of the top sellers of the Linux operating system and related software, spokesman Lonn Johnston said. Miller’s wife, Iris, another TurboLinux co-founder and board member, is executive vice president of international development for Mountain View Data. The third founder is Peter Braam, chief technology officer and lead programmer for The InterMezzo Project.

“I have resigned from TurboLinux,” Miller said in an interview today, saying he and Iris prefer the challenge of a start-up. “Certain people are good at certain things. I believe we’re pretty good at doing new things. We like the excitement of a new company.” Mountain View Data was founded in September and has about 10 employees, Miller said. The company hopes to differentiate itself from competitors such as StorageNetworks by having storage data centers in both the United States and Japan. The Millers faced some dilution of their control over TurboLinux in recent months, as the San Francisco-based company’s initial public offering schedule stretched and outside companies invested in the Linux seller. A $57 million corporate investment round in January sealed partnerships with major computing corporations, but the company also had to secure a further $30 million earlier this month. The Millers remain the largest stockholders at TurboLinux, Cliff Miller said. TurboLinux still faces plenty of risk as the company tries to become profitable and convince the world that Linux is a solid business proposition.
