Nutanix CIO exits amidst software misuse probe
Summary
Nutanix said its Senior Vice President and chief information officer Wendy Pfeiffer, a six-year company veteran, is suddenly leaving the hyperconverged cloud infrastructure provider, which is in the midst of an internal probe for improperly using licensed software for “a multi-year period. She previously had leadership roles with Yahoo, where she was head of the advanced development division’s data privacy office and business technology programs and has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Phoenix. Pfeiffer’s sudden exit comes just two days after the firm received a notice of deficiency from the Nasdaq over its failure to meet Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing guidelines. “Because of that we weren’t able to disclose expense information on the call and we have announced that we expect to be unable to file our 10-Q in a timely manner,given that we want to make sure this is resolved first,” Sivaraman added. If Nasdaq officials accept the plan, they can give Nutanix six months from the due date to make good on the filing, in this case, September 11 US time of this year.
