Oracle Product Chief Thomas Kurian Resigns
Summary
"The fact that they didnt say why he left or what time frame he will be gone is very unusual," that person said, noting its a big loss for the Redwood Shores, Calif.-based technology giant.And Oracles lack of transparency on the matter left many worried there might be larger executive conflicts at play or internal problems in the cloud business.A few months earlier, Ellison had transitioned himself from CEO to CTO, promoting co-presidents Mark Hurd and Safra Catz to share the top job and leaving a void at the president rank.Kurian had gained Ellisons favor by thriving in a position responsible for launching Oracle Fusion Applications that challenged his predecessors.Wookey was replaced by Chuck Rozwat, who assumed the position of executive vice president of product development, responsible for Oracles entire software portfolio.
