Troubled MariaDB shuffles CEO sideways
 

Michael Howard replaced by Paul O’Brien

There has been a significant reshuffle at the troubled open saucy MariaDB where Michael Howard, the company’s current CEO has been replaced by Paul O’Brien.

Howard, who led his company through a disastrous IPO, is still around and will remain on the board of directors to provide "strategic planning and oversight."

The board appointed Tom Siegel as chief revenue officer (CRO) to lead the sales, consulting, support and training teams and Jonah Harris as chief technology officer (CTO), effective June 5, 2023.

MariaDB chairman Alex Suh praised Howard’s seven-and-a-half-year record and attributed to him “the transformation of MariaDB from an open-source offering to a cloud business that successfully competes with the hyperscalers.”
