...before he realizes he cannot consolidate the software industry? You will not find the answer blowin' in the wind
Larry has hired ex-Microsoft CFO Greg Maffei as his new CFO. Along with long time friend and ex-CFO Jeff Henley (now Chairman), Charles Phillips and Safra Catz (both ex-bankers) his top management team represents a Wall Street firm more than a software company. Fittingly, the company now will have as many Co-Presidents as the average bank has Vice-Presidents.
In fairness, the Oracle board is not stacked with financial types as is common in many other companies. Larry has 3 professors, a Hollywood agent, and an ex-Congressman on his board.
