Dion Cornett Joins Red Hat as VP, Investor Relations
Saturday, May 28 2005 @ 07:21 PM EDT

Were you wondering where Dion Cornett was? Me too. Then I got an email from him that he's joined Red Hat as Vice President of Investor Relations. The email announcing it to Red Hat's Investor Relations distribution list says:

Dion brings to Red Hat almost 10 years of Wall Street experience. In the last 2 years, he has focused his research on Open Source software and has followed Red Hat since early 2003. He has a deep knowledge of Red Hat's business and technologies, our business/financial model, and the marketplace.

Prior to his tenure on Wall Street, Dion was a regional manager for Nalco and served as a Submarine Officer in the US Navy. Dion graduated with honors from the US Naval Academy with a degree in Electrical Engineering and attained a Masters in Business Administration from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management, where he graduated with distinction. . . .

Dion will be based in Red Hat's corporate headquarters in Raleigh, NC.

So, now you know. I am thrilled for Dion, and he's mighty happy too, I gather. By the way, he says thank you to the Groklaw community. "I appreciate how supportive the Groklaw community has been of my past efforts," he told me, "and I really owe them a word of thanks for all the information and insight they provided me as an analyst."

Eep, internal email posted in groklaw is Naughty (think sarbox, etc). I think
you could get away with this one, but please be careful :)

Congratulations Dion. It is a gain for Red Hat and a loss for the financial
reporting community. I have missed hearing from you.

Great choice on many fronts

This is an odd announcement... but a good one.

This is great for both him and RedHat. A learning experience about a new
business model for him, and a possible windfall of investment for RH.

Congrats to both!

Dion, I wish you all luck in your new venture!

You have been an asset in the financial reporting, and i am sure that you will
continue to be so, for Red Hat!

All the best my friend!
Let your clarity continue to shine!

When you think about it, that's probably a relief for SCOX, considering the way
Dion used to report on them.

I wonder who will step up to the plate to keep the financial glare on SCOX
happenings.

Howard. (who really should create an account)
