Another key SUSE executive is leaving Novell.
Juergen Geck, former CTO of SUSE Linux, is slated to finish his duties at Novell at the end of this week. Novell declined to comment.
Geck, vice president and SUSE Linux CTO at the company, said in an e-mail that his contract with Novell officially ends June 30. He described the parting as amicable.
After a 10-year stint with SUSE, Geck said he's not yet sure where he will land but is looking to help a smaller firm. "I must say that I don't see it as such bad news. After nearly 10 years at SUSE and now Novell, I think it was time for a change. Novell has been very good to me, and there would have been plenty of good opportunities within the company," he said in the e-mail. "At the same time, there is a good amount of work waiting with smaller, emerging companies. Going through growing pains like we did in the years to follow is something where I feel I can help others to do better."
Geck’s departure follows Novell's appointment of Jeffrey Jaffe as executive vice president and CTO last fall amid a corporate restructuring. Jaffe, who served at IBM and Lucent Technologies for more than 25 years, is in charge of Novell's technology direction and product business units.
