Zend picks former BMC exec for CEO
PHP tool company Zend Technologies on Monday named former BMC Software executive Harold Goldberg as CEO.
Goldberg, who was senior vice president of worldwide marketing, replaces Doron Gerstel who left the company in April of last year.
In a statement, Goldberg said that the venture-backed company is on a "sharp growth trajectory being fueled by both the acceptance of open source, and the trend toward new, service oriented programming models."
PHP is a widely used scripting language to build Web sites and Web-based business applications.
