It's also an interim appointment. My understanding is that he's not expected to be CEO for a long time.
Some tidbits about Chris:
* He's a former Linux kernel hacker.
* In the 90s he started a company that, among other things, ported Linux to the PA RISC.
* He worked for HP and helped start up their Linux division.
* He was Mozilla VP of Products for three years before becoming CMO.
He has deep tech skills and deep product/marketing skills. Indeed, the board had been considering inviting him to join them (on the board) for some time.
