Dear Friends,
After two incredible years I am leaving HP-Vertica effective immediately. I want to thank HP and all of
our customers, partners, investors, and employees past and present. Vertica is your triumph, not mine.
I feel very privileged to have led such a stellar team in the eye of the Big Data storm! I am proud that
I am leaving the company at the height of success, and in capable hands.
As I contemplate what is next for me, I leave Vertica as the acknowledged market leader
( http://www.vertica.com/wp-content/uploa ... 2812rv.pdf ) fresh off a year
where we enjoyed 130% year over year growth, delivered two ground breaking technical releases
and have moved into our new home in Cambridge, the epicenter of the Big Data Movement.
Vertica is about innovation, and thought leadership; the efforts of our investors, employees and early
customers allowed us to achieve something special.
Goodbye for now and stay close.
Christopher Lynch Leaves Vertica?!?!

Christopher Lynch Leaves Vertica?!?!
Wow! Sad news out from Vertica (as reported in an email this morning) that Christopher Lynch (President and CEO) has left Vertica...

Uh oh. Usually when the visionaries leave a company it's all down hill from there!
Re: Christopher Lynch Leaves Vertica?!?!
I was worried about Vertica ever since HP acquired them. I knew some folks from EDS and they no longer exist!

On the contrary we felt better about vertica when they were purchased by HP. Hopefully HP can poor some money into the development of some new features.
Thank you!

I'm sure Apple is fine since Steve died. Hmm. I guess that's a little more extreme than leaving a company. Sorry. Did Mr. Lynch leave on his own or was he asked to leave? I don't like HP.
Re: Christopher Lynch Leaves Vertica?!?!
A lot of times when a smaller company is acquired by a big corporation the CEO steps down. The leadership from the smaller is taken over by people at the big companies. I've been a part of several mergers and it always happens the same.
The next phase will be some talent leaving Vertica, but hopefully HP isn't changing so much that the core members leave.
