Fusion-io's CEO and co-founder step down, new leadership looks to increase growth
Times are a-changin' for Salt Lake City-based Fusion-io, as the company's CEO David Flynn has resigned alongside co-founder and CMO Rick White. It seems that both are stepping away in order to "pursue entrepreneurial investing activities," leaving the act of running one of the world's leading flash storage makers for Mr. Shane Robison. Effective immediately, Robison will be knighted chairman, chief executive officer and president, offering up over 30 years of experience in prior roles for AT&T, Cadence Design Systems, HP and Apple.

Combating that sentiment, Robison was quoted by Bloomberg as saying that a sale "is not my focus." Rather, he's hoping to "grow the company and build on what [it] has." Here's hoping it all pans out -- the world most certainly doesn't need one less company fighting for the death of the conventional hard drive.

Both will still serve on the board and in an advisory capacity, but the troubled storage maker will have a new hand on the reins: Shane Robison, Hewlett-Packard's former chief strategy and technology officer (and who’s also served at AT&T Labs, EDA vendor Cadence Design, and Apple). That's not the only major executive move. A week ago, Pankaj Mehra succeeded Neil Carson as chief technical officer; Carson was apparently demoted to the role of Fusion-io Asia Pacific CTO and vice president. (Maybe Steve Wozniak, who has been "chief scientist" at Fusion-io since , can help right the ship.) With no real explanation forthcoming from the company, industry watchers are forced to read the tea leaves proffered by Scott Sandell, the lead
