(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Business management software provider NetSuite (www.netsuite.com) announced last week it has named Edward Zander, the former Motorola chairman of the board and CEO, to its board of directors.
In addition to his board service, Zander will also serve on the compensation committee and the nominating and governance committee of the board.
Zander is a veteran technology executive with more than 20 years of experience in the field.
Before joining Motorola in 2004, he spent 15 years with Sun Microsystems, where he served as president and chief operating officer.
“We are really thrilled to have Ed join our board, and I am personally excited to have the opportunity to work with him again,” says Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “Cloud computing is the convergence of telecommunications, advanced data center capabilities, and great web-native software. Ed’s incredible background and track record in all of these areas will bring enormous benefits to NetSuite as we bring the promise of cloud computing to businesses worldwide.”
In addition to his leadership roles with Motorola and Sun, Zander was managing director of leading private equity fund Silver Lake Partners, vice president of marketing at Apollo Computer, and an engineering and marketing executive with Data General.
This is not the first time Zander has served on a board. He is a member of the Board of Trustees at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council of the School of Management at Boston University.
Zander also currently serves on the board of directors of technology companies Netezza and Seagate.
