Open Source ‘Fundamentally Superior’: Red Hat CEO James Whitehurst
In January, James Whitehurst became president and CEO of Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat. The 41-year-old came to the software company, which sells and services the Linux open source computer operating system, from Delta Air Lines, where he was chief operating officer and had worked on, among other projects, development of the discount travel Web site Orbitz. At Red Hat, Whitehurst, a native of Atlanta and 1989 graduate of Rice University, will be part of a collaboration between the company and IBM to develop a personal computer that doesn’t rely on Microsoft software.
