OnLive founder, CEO Steve Perlman exiting company; silent investor new chairman
eOnLive CEO and head Steve Perlman is exiting the cloud streaming company, according to a press release, just days after he was reaffirmed as its leader. The company’s former operations head Charlie Jablonski is taking over as chief operating officer and will act as interim chief executive officer, while venture capitalist Gary Lauder – and new owner of OnLive – becomes OnLive’s new leader.
“Steve has created an extraordinary company that no one else could have created. He is a unique entrepreneur and deserves his legendary status in Silicon Valley as a creator of groundbreaking companies,” Lauder said of Perlman. Lauder asserted that, “the new OnLive is emerging with greater financial security and a brighter outlook on the future. OnLive is now positioned to execute against longer-term projects with our breakthrough technology, products, and services.”
The release doesn’t say where Perlman’s going just yet, only that he’s “departing to work on his myriad other projects,” presumably in reference to Mova, and his original startup, Rearden. It does, however, note that Lauder “plans to continue building the OnLive management team in key categories as the company delivers on its mission of breaking new ground in cloud gaming.”Continue reading OnLive founder, CEO Steve Perlman exiting company; silent investor new chairmanOnLive founder, CEO Steve Perlman exiting company; silent investor new chairman originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 27 Aug 2012 17:16:00 EST.
