Amiga announces new Vice President of Engineering : Comment 28 of 53ANN.lu

I was under the impression that Fleccy was CTO, or chief tech officer. These guys, judging
from what ours does, as well as people like Marc Andreesen (used to be effective CTO for
AOL after they bought netscape but before he left to form LoudCloud) are the 'tech watchdogs'
of the company, they make sure the company isn't falling behind, is taking advantage of what's
new out there (and relevant to their business plan, of course).
This is different from a VP of development or engineering, where that person would be directly
in charge of a company's software dev division, or hardware engineering or whatever they make/provide
as a service.
In Amiga's case, they have both hardware people (e.g. DKB) as well as software people (various contractors
worldwide as well as partners like H&P, Hyperion, etc.) on staff. Thus I'd bet this guy is charged with heading
up a bit of both, as while they provide hardware specs, they keep reminding us they aren't a hardware
company like the old amiga inc/commodore/ESCOM were.
I think the other relevant connection here is that this guy worked at ConnectSoft here in Seattle
in a past life, as did Bill McEwen and my company's former VP of development, which is how I found
out about how my work colleague knew him, too - not from Amiga/Gateway. Bill probably knew and
respected the guy and wanted him as part of Amiga.
A final comment - note that this guy was at the Evil Empire (believe me, living in its shadow
is more than a bit annoying) for a few years, but, he worked on a Java Virtual Machine there, which
as we know, M$$$ no longer bothers with, they leave it to the OEMs like Dell, Compaq, etc.
to put on their computers starting with WinBlows Extra Pernicious, the current version. They have
turned their backs on Java, which is the opposite of Amiga, probably why he's also interested in Amiga.
