Open-source conversation with Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst
Jim Whitehurst, who was chief operating officer at Delta Airlines before becoming CEO of Red Hat, has led the open-source software company to new heights.
Annual revenue, which totaled $523 million when Whitehurst took over the helm at the outset of 2008, is expected to be more than triple that – approaching $1.8 billion – for Red Hat’s fiscal year that ends in February.
The Raleigh-based company prospered during the recession, and it has continued to thrive as the economy has slowly improved.
Wall Street has taken notice. Red Hat shares have nearly tripled during Whitehurst’s tenure.
Amazingly, the company is built on a foundation of free software.
