Dean Nelson leaves Sun Microsystems to join eBay

Dean Nelson was in charge of the Sun Microsystems’ global data-center strategy.

He has now announced on his blog that he is leaving Sun to join online auction industry giant eBay.

He would now become the senior director in charge of eBay’s global data-center strategy.

He replaces Olivier Sanchez who is said to have left eBay to join Apple.

Nelson spoke about this move in the blog post: “When the official announcement came through that Oracle intended to purchase Sun, it caused many people to rethink their future. I have always believed that if I am challenged in my job, being stretched to continuously learn, have a solid team, executive support, and of course good compensation, there isn’t a reason to look for something else. But with uncertainty, I also believed it was prudent to see what options were out there.”
