Word around our site is that a hotshot named Beresford from the Fremont facility will be taking over Re's position as CTO and will be ushering in numerous new-technology platforms which will stabilize the company's product portfolio and bring long-term profitability. It's about time too!

I bet it was Mark, wanting to remind us of better days gone by.
Why the h*ll are you resurrecting a 7 year old thread?
?
10k views huh
Now former CTO was a real failure. He failed at IBM, then took Readrite down and now he has failed before his baby hamr ever shipped.
Well "f' you too, squid.
You are fing dumb. This post is 2 years old and Ponytail is still here
Is this true?
LOL!
I think you meant TCO, "The Chosen One". Ian has been our resident diva for many years.
I remember when Pittsburgh was first created and within their first year, they single-handely developed Perpendicular recording. So much for trying to win the hearts and minds of the Technologists and Engineers who labored on this technology for over 10 years at at RMO.
Has ponytail destroyed the company with his lack of vision and promotion of his friends? Pittsburgh mafia couldn’t get hammer shipped as it was promised in 2013? Proves that cronyism does not solve technological challenges.
You mean Ian "Flex" Beresford is not the new CTO? Stupid post.
Fake news. Just ignore it and move on.
???
Now that is true.
Well you can't spell BERESFORD without BS.
This is BS.
It's true. Because the ponytail and smarmy grin remains.
Signed a two-year extension? BS. Pic/Link or it didn't happen.
Mark Re just signed a 2 year extension with Seagate Technology.
Mark Re is actually a very intelligent and competent CTO, definitely one of our better officers.
Yes, that's him. He's the guy who walks around with his chest pushed out and his arms puffed out to the side like he's 2 seconds away from setting the world's record in bench pressing.
Is this the guy with a wingspan wider than a 747?
Ian Beresford is not going to be our next CTO, I can guarantee it.
This is priceless.
CTO? He is nothing more than a little-big man with an enormous Napoleon complex.
This tool was the bloodiest wanker to ever flock our factory in Ireland.
Hes arms so wide like a bird
CTO of Seagate? Ha ha ha ha... maybe at 24 HOUR FITNESS but certainly not Seagate.
LOL!!!
Is he out yet ...
That prick is the textbook definition of a work-place bully. It is even rumored that he knocked up the Mexican girl who used to work in the storage room, and HR did nothing about it.
"Big-Body-Beresford" is going to be the next CTO? Yeah, right.
Back in 96-97? Beresford was a leading Director in Fremont keeping the factory running whilst having to deal with the massive layoff around the corner. I recall yields and morale at an all time high. He was a good chap to work for. And if memory serves me he was in his mid 20's. Besides being an engineer he also has a strong financial education...so maybe he is what Fremont needs
"Like shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic!"
It ain't the first time you have used that analogy, Mark-Anthony McGinnis
Re out? When did this take place? Didn't see any internal memos...
He is just a longtime butt-kisser. walks up and down the hallways with his inflated chest and swartzenneger arms puffed out. Hes not the new CTO.
If true, although maybe too late, letting Re go is the right thing to do. On the bright side, maybe an unsuspecting Seagate nemesis will snatch this "hi-tech guru", which in all likelihood will lead to their decline and extinction (just like other organizations Re has led: Read-Rite, Seagate Research)....this would be good for Seagate : )
It figures. What a brown noser.
