14 DAY TRIAL // Back in September, Western Digital revealed that its Chief Financial Officer would soon resign. Now, we know who will take his place.
Now that Wolfgang Nickl has left (or is about to, since his resignation will be handed in tomorrow, November 17), his position will be taken by Tim Leyden, the current president of HGST.
It's interesting to note that Leyden was WD's CFO before, from 2007 to 2010, and COO (Chief Operating Officer) from 2010 to 2012.
He became HGST's president back in 2012, and is now leaving it in the hands of Jim Murphy, executive vice president of the subsidiary.
Fortunately, this won't affect us normal people much, since Western Digital will continue making new storage products and refining existing ones.
