Oracle, a provider of software for information management, yesterday announced that Mark V. Hurd has joined the company as President and has been named to its Board of Directors. The company adds that Hurd will report to its CEO Larry Ellison.
"Mark did a brilliant job at HP and I expect he'll do even better at Oracle," said Larry Ellison. "There is no executive in the IT world with more relevant experience than Mark.
