2. Citrix’s Mark Palomba

New Citrix channel chief Mark Palomba made waves for his plans to leave the company.

Palomba, a former SAP executive, joined Citrix two years ago as COO for sales and services. Citrix last fall tapped Palomba to replace former channel chief Bronwyn Hastings, who left months earlier to join Google Cloud. A Citrix spokeswoman, who confirmed Palomba’s planned departure, said his final day has not yet been determined.

There has been a continued surge of longtime Citrix employee and executive departures, something Jeff Schwartz delves into here.
